most of these advocates of dropping out of school - unlike gates and co - are not dropping out because they are inspired to start a business that will change the world - but because they are lazy. what can we expect from any of these dropout wannabes other than trading and blogging and hyip 4 Likes |

I don't think most of them chose to drop out of school. They were complelled to due to poverty, and some of them because of a course that was greater than school. So if you have yourself out of school because of poverty, remember that you could be a success. If you have a bigger course than school, pursue your higher course.

Cultured: I will always say it, ignoramuses tend to mistake acquisition of paper certificates/attainment of formal higher institutions as true meaning of education, but that's not true . From my analytical findings , 99% of formal certificate holders , whose definition of education is going through formal educational system of learning are "uninformed" in their area of specializations , they only depends of theories - They are never productive , thus the reason why you see rundown companies every now and then , where they are heads. Sincerely , you are a genius. My respect to you , big bros . |

Looking out of College, Uni or Poly does not equate as dropping out of school.... Dropping out of Secondary is what most European and the western world refer to as school... College, Uni or Poly is referred to as Further education, someone dropping out of Harvard does not mean that person dropped out of school.... |

Only a Professor from a liberal college believe that the only way to get ahead is to do well in school. A college education is a good thing to have but your GPA is not a good predictor of success in life. People skills and hard work and the willingness to take risk are more important. If you think borrowing $100K to attend Columbia will make you successful in life you are probably going to be disappointed. |

lol... my friend is a B.ENG holder from a Nigerian Federal University.... while his Land Lord of same age is a businessman that owns more than 3 shops in Ladipo. Wats the secret; while my friend was busy investing his time reading books & passing exams this young chap was busy investing his time learning how to make money via learning a trade from his Oga. so after 12yrs (6yrs secondary school; 5yrs university & 1 yr NYSC) that young man has grown to become an international business man while my friend was looking for Job. To me; I beleive the era of B.SC; Msc; PHDs for everyone has gone; we are in the era of learn how to read and write then go into Investment training or Money making training. |

agabaI23: I can give you multiples of that who dropped out of school and never did well[size=13pt]Dude you are very wrong. There are more successful dropouts than successful college graduates.90% of all world celebrities since 1947 have being found to be dropouts.Lets be sincere college prepares you for a Salary lifestyle.And you can't except by divine intervention become successful from earning peanuts.At the end of the day every successful person is a dropout.Either they dropout of college or a job ,bad relationship e.t.c. The bottom line is that you have to dropout(take a risk) off something before you can become a true great man!.Even Jesus dropped out of Life to become who he is Today [/size] |

Here is the thing, most people in college want to just get a degree, and get a job. But very successful people just want to discover their inborn talent, creativity, or an idea, and work hard to perfect the idea, and then offer their idea to the public. That's the main reason the best education ever is self-education. I came across a quote and I will share the quote: “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants, and people are produced.” Basically, this define the reason why people are successful and others are not. 1 Like |

To me personally,Going to school doesn't have anything to do with being successful or not bt ability to apply the little knowledge U̶̲̥̅̊ gain matter most,with determination ,self esteem,etc |
Re: Top 10 Billionaires That Dropped Out Of School by Inoknowbook: 5:53pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
So, the end and short of this post is, that we all should drop out of school? For those that may be deceived by these success stories, you better go look up the statistics on people that dropped out of school and the result so far. This post fails to tell the stories of uncountable others that equally dropped out of school and are currently no where near having a semblance of successful life. For every successful dropout, there are like a million unsuccessful ones. 1 Like |
