I dropped out of school not because I was a dullard, but because of paucity of fund. My family was indigent. I was among the best crop of students in my department. In one's life, the place of education cannot be compromised. ThankGod I am back to school. Not until I get my masters in one of the worlds Best universities i will never quit. Determination is the key to success 2 Likes |

acidtalk:Did you read the thread? The OP didn't 'say' drop outs do not succeed. He gave reason why they don't. The dropouts who succeeded, did they fall into the category of op's 'bulleted' points? |

Just like the Op said 'self education is priceless'. In Nigeria, whether u are a graduate or not, what u need most is what I called 'PACKAGING'. Whatever u find yourself doing, especially in this country, you just have to learn how to package yourself, products or services. In Marketing it is called 'BRANDING'. Whether you drop out of school or you are a graduate, study this carefully: 1. I can't continue my education or am a graduate but no job, what can I do to make a living, what do the society need? Commerce is all about 'exchange' what can I give to people in exchange for money. (I called this Self-discovery) 2. Now have been able to discover what I can sell or give to the general public in exchange for money. How do I package this my products or services that will attract more consumers or customers? Let's take AY for example, forget all this award they are giving to AY as the best comedian of so so year, if u listen to AY's comedy, u will find out that he is not that funny, but AY packaged himself. He came up with AY Comedy Open Mic, his AY live show is always full of glamour and he package his show to the taste of all his wealthy guests. (So I call this BRANDING) 3. The last but not the last is Diversification. That particular product or services I have, shouldn't I create PLAN B? If I can't cope with competitors and some other future factors that can affect my bizness or product and decline in sales or patronage set in. Since I have enough money in my account, I need to diversify, I don't have to be stereotype. In what areas can I invest on again and again. 2 Likes |

Well one thing i know is that its kind of easier for those with basic knowledge of science. most of those you listed developed products due to their knowledge if science. l dropped out too, even though im still not there yet, i have a product in the market with modest distributors due to research on formulations that those in the fueld may find impossible thereby allowing much lower cost of production and decent margin even though im not yet buying materials cheaper in bulk. Since certificate is treasured here, someone not in a science field with ability to research and produce wont find it easy as their field is tied to certificates gotten. |

4. They drop into thorny grounds Most billionaires who dropped out of school had a soft landing. They had rich or average parents who provided some sort of key support for them after they dropped out. Bill Gates had a well to do magistrate as his father and a mother who helped him secure the big contract at IBM. Mark Zuckerberg's parents supported him with $85,000 loan when he started. Aliku Dangote, had a rich uncle who helped set him up in business and supported him through the early stages. Don't stop learning...however you do it. |

hahn: Bwahaha... Such is life, as they say! That is the reality! It is very sad though. Education is overrated sometimes because most people just go there to have the certificates but not to learn. That is one of the major reasons many can't create wealth in the society only to be seeking for employment that is very limited. 1 Like |
