do you think you drop out of school if lets say you have a big $$$ contract or already making money with your own business or you're already successful at what you do??

for me, answer is no.. but i have a reason for it.

No, money is not everything. I want an education.

Depends.
If I keep failing at school than yes.
I'm just going to waste my own money.

If I'm getting alright/ good grades than no.

^mm what's grade r u in now? are you still in hs right?

^ i mean if bill gates and michael dell can be so successful without going to college, i guess if you are making big bucks, you should just drop. isn't that the whole point of college? to get a job! opportunities don't last forever....so grasp on to it while it is still there.

^good point. lol

bill gates and michael dell are a rare kind, they're not human. lol

personally for me, i'm going to school to expand my knowledge, to learn, and be independent of family, and to be what i want. if getting a job is all i'm seeking for, then i already can start working with family business.

but yes, if you get a million dollar contract, i think it's "safe" to assume most ppl will leave school immediately.

Finished HS!
Starting university next year. =)

lol, I wonder how long it will take for chinese & indians to figure out that education is not going to be the answer all the time. I will give it... 20 years
actually most should be getting the picture within 10 years when the american cost of education bubble deflates

No, but I did but only to give me some more time and less stress to build the business. Education is more valuable, gonna go back to school. If school was free, I would never stop learning.

Just ask Joe Cada...21 yr old winner of WSOP.

If I had my own business then I'd be content with just that tbh

you kids need to stay in school, eespecially during this economy. takes advantage of it, and gets ahead in the game.

i don't want to see 20 years from now to hear your name in prison or to see you beggin on the street. lol

^..haha..you sound like my dad..lol
but, it's true. stay in school. especially during these tough economics time. it's so hard to get jobs these days, especially for hs and college students because they think we are "inexperienced".

^

that is because i am YOUR DADDY! LOL

jjk, seriously i think kids these days don't listen very well. =p are you those kids too? lol
actually i didn't mean anything when i called ppl kids *just playing

thats true, they're not going to hire you without prior experience. they don't have time to train you because it costs money to train ppl.

anyway, since what i'm doing has very little to do with commercial business, i think i'm safe for now.

don't stay in school. you are paying the high end in an education bubble caused by government subsidized student loans and the idea that an education always pays off.

asian parents don't know much about anything. all they do is follow the crowd

It's a trap

[color="#FF00FF"]for me.. i won't drop my school. It's your trophy or you can call it the fruit of labor.. you need not to drop out. you can still continue your studies despite your success now.. [/color]

Meh education is the window to one's future, according to my dad.

Hello all.


The answer to this question is circumstantial. If I can have a big amount of money that suffice to sustain my life for another 50 years, I might have to rethink about education, being contented with providing it for my offspring only.

If it's merely on a temporary basis where all such fortune will go away in a matter of short time, education will become ultimately essential. At least, people with university education can obtain a decent job afterward even if they encountered failure in business.

That's my two cents though.




Humanity is but one family.

Well, because of the importance I put on an education, I wouldn't do it.

if u wanna really learn sth you are interested in, homeschool or learn it yourself is the best policy.
majority of us go to school only to get a damn degree.
