[QUOTE="50 Proof, post: 4894676, member: 24196"] Do you have statistics to back this up, or is it just your opinion that there are more people without college degrees running businesses? I understand Bill Gates and Michael Dell are not college educated, but they do not constitute for the vast majority of businesses in the United States. My dad works at Northrop Grumman as an aircraft mechanic building F-18 Super Hornets for the government. He's probably one of the most skilled in his department. It's a very highly skilled position. He makes maybe 80k or so a year on overtime. It took him a good majority of his life to get there. I'm 27 years old and earn a salary over 50k a year on a 40 hour work week, close to 3/4's his income after overtime. The position I'm in is a level 1 entry level position too. I graduated college and he didn't. Wow!!! Just Wow!!! College is more than just learning math, science, etc. It teaches you critical thinking skills. College helps to develop your brain and your thought process. It teaches you analytical skills. Screw math? How do you expect to be able to run a business if you don't even know basic financial accounting skills? Oh and welcome to yesterday, there is law enforcement school for cops. Want to be a cop? If they hire you, you go through their boot camp like training program where they train you how to be a cop. Most cities where I live do not require a bachelors degree to become a cop. Granted a lot of people do graduate college and are still morons, I agree with you on that one. However, there are a large percentage of people who do get something out of college, these are typically the people earning high incomes that those without a college degree can't achieve or will spend a lifetime to achieve. Everyone's situation is different. There are people who never graduated college who make tons of money. You just have to know the right field to get into. There is no real answer to the question in the original post. [/QUOTE]
