Reply #5: You have a narrow view of success. [View All]

Being a self satisfied success IMO is the goal, college is not a guarantee of success. However having the genes that get you through college is a pretty good indication of future success. Many people arrive by starting off as carpenters or mechanics or septic pumpers or truck drivers or dispatchers or gardeners or thousands of other things and some progress into owning a company and some even become wealthy some become good conversationalists and there are many who are well liked by their friends. Many who do go to college are not suited to be business men or employees and thus end up miserable as failures in their own mind. You seem to believe that college makes the man. IMO this is a lot like saying cloths make the man. More and more it is proving out that genes make the man.
