Hi guys,

So I got a question what is your opinion at school. Online I often see entrepreneurs bashing school saying stuff like “A students work for C students” and stories about how people are making million dollar businesses being high school or college dropouts and school sucks and it does nothing for you and yada yada. However in my real life I’ve noticed the most successful entrepreneurs tend to be people who gone to school and who give it at least some value.

Personally, I’ll admit I just love learning and I did pretty well in high school ( like top 10 percentile on SATs wel) and experimentation on concepts. I also had really good teachers to help me out who gave me a lot of wisdom, so I might be cheating a little but I never felt that school was as bad as people made it sound. I’m not saying school is perfect or doesn’t need and hell I’m uneven an entrepreneur ( yet ).

But I’m curious do you buy into the school sucks garbage or is it just an online thing only?

    The things they neglect to mention is the successful first made a million, and couldn’t manage both the business and school, then they quit. That’s not what we discuss here.

    Successes are going to succeed, even with the crippling setback of a college education. You will quickly notice people like Fred Smith, founder of Federal Express, using his business ideas as the subject of college assignments are missing. So too using college as a place to network with partners and affluent parents. Odd, that.

    Just like everybody is never going to quit …immediately after they quit college.
