Only 16 out of the thousands of drop outs? Droping out na bad market o. Man must be sure before taking that step.

Nice try op! For every one of these guys you listed, there a millions of drop-outs that will never amount to anything in life, just as there are millions of stay-ins that won't amount to anything in life. However, the odds are much more against the drop-outs. Did you also take note that the children of these guys (for those that have) are/were stay-ins?

This is so cool...Not every one is ordained to work for someone...some are ordained to be there own bosses...


Meet me at the top...
