rather then go to school, get good grades, and get a good, secure job.
do this:
go to school, graduate, build businesses, and become a successful investor

Either way, you still have to work hard to be a success. You have a choice. either study and get good grades and go to college. Or try to overcome your lack of an education. Which one sounds better to you?

you can study and get good grades and go to college but that doesnt mean your gonna get money. grades have nothing to do with money.
good grades mean you can listen to your teacher and do what your told.

sorry but thats not my personallity, i dont like people telling me what to do unless they are a mentor, not a advisor. a advisor just tells you want to do, but doesnt take his one advise. a mentor is someone that helps you threw it and has already done it themselves.

you have to work hard to be successful, thats a fact, but id rather work hard to learn how money works rather then how to work for money and be someone elses slave, working everyday waiting for the time when i can ask them if i can retire, and hope my pension and social securtiy will be enough to hold me off till i die. sorry but i dont wanna rely on someone else to plan for my future, id rather plan it myself.

oh yeah and just cause you dont graduate doesnt mean you lack the knowledge, here's a list of people that left school or dropped out for ya:

Thomas Edison - founder of GE
Henry Ford - founder of Ford motor co
Bill Gates - founder of microsoft
Ted Turner - founder of CNN
Micheal Dell - founder of Dell computers
Steve Jobs - founder of Apple computers
Ralph Lauren - founder of Polo

sorry to burst your bubble but all of the above do not have a single college degree, in fact they all left college. do you not consider them successful?

agreed!

**chicamahomico** · 02-24-2004, 11:49 AM

I agree with what jcstomper has said to some degree. However, some things should be noted. Getting an education is like an hedge bet towards your future income. The odds of you becoming one of the men could be be guessed at about 1 in a million and become significantly worse if statistical tendencies are applied. Bottom line is education is a good thing. College is not like high school, nobody tell you what to do in college and you pay to be there. Don't think of school as somebody giving you orders, think of it as somebody guiding you along the path to graduation.

Agreed...your odds of making money (if that is how you gauge success) are much higher if you pursue and complete a college education.

And...trust me...people with degrees do make money also!

College can also be viewed as whether or not you have the aptitude of starting and finishing a tough challenge.

peace,

ttgb

**mass junkie** · 02-24-2004, 11:58 AM

Well I dont have much schooling and I think I do alright for myself..........but I do plan to go back to school someday ....so that I can make purrty words come together like yall do

yeah im not saying college is bad, but so many people base a person how what college they went to and how they did there (example: pres bush personally i think he's a idiot and could give to craps about his merits, he comes acrossed as a person who i couldnt hold a convo with IMO. personally he reminds me of my father.). the person still has to apply themselves, and if a person is gonna try and be the best they can be at anything they will succeed, no matter what they do.
true im not saying that you will become super rich, but i dont care about that, id rather have finacial freedom then finacial security. there is a differance

**Phillyboy1** · 02-24-2004, 12:06 PM

only problem with that is, what does the person do when they werent taught how to contol debt, and credit. they also werent taught how money works, they were taught how to do a job, and they are left to themselves to become finacially smart. and when people fail at the finacial aspect of being a adult the end up in debt and end up having to kling to there job to pay the bills every month. sorry but thats not the reason i was put here on this earth. im here to live a nice life, not to work for life. im you are supposed to waste every day working for a penny to pay the bills in a never ending cycle IMO its not worth living. i like scheduling my life, and then my work, not my life around my work

Well if you hadn't decided to stop going to school in the second grade you might have made something of yourself! What a shame......to be in Gay porn at such an early age.....sad....just so sad.

So what's this with Hoss? Grades slipping huh? Well then I see no other recourse than to just have everyone meet over at his house and kick the crap out of him......nothing motivates better than an ass kicking. Oh, and a 2 month ban just for GP. hahahahaha

While I was commenting on your response, the intent was to advise hoss - not to criticise you. I am not so rude or conceited as you believe. The point is that a degree is a tangible advantage. It is usually better to have one than not. If one is going to "make it" in life, they will most likely have to work hard regardless of whether its in a classroom or in a public library. Why not go to college if you have the opportunity?

i didnt take it as you criticising me at all, i just wanted to make sure hoss knew that just cause you have the degree, that isnt a definate that youll make it in life, you can do it without, some people just dont have the drive for that and take the easy way out which IMO is to get a job. no hard feelings

Hoss.....one step at a time.

1. Graduate H.S. with the best GPA you can.

Without that h.s. diploma - - - no military, no college, etc.

Does education make the man? No....it just helps him be a better, more educated man.

Not getting through high school closes doors! Getting the best education available to you will only HELP you achieve your goals. It won't HURT you to get educated. It WON'T HELP you to piss away your chances because you would rather sit here all day and rack up your post count.

I already told you what I would do if I were your mother. What it boils down to is....WE are not your parents. WE can only give you our advice. You have to be MAN enough to take it and do what is right for you.

ttuPrincess · 02-25-2004, 07:46 PM

**Commando_Barbi** · 02-25-2004, 08:07 PM

Thanks.....I'm a mom. That's what mom's do.

ttuPrincess · 02-25-2004, 08:09 PM

Can I give you my little sister's number and have you talk to her also??? She's having trouble making it to school at all.... and my mom's to much of a push over to tell her anything. Some people should not be Moms!

**hoss827** · 02-25-2004, 08:16 PM

Thanks for the advice CB....Its 2 weeks into the new grading period and so far i have straight A's...(it wont last though,

) we have 5 weeks to go, but im at least trying now...Report cards come out friday......STill dont know what im gonna do about that problem....

**Commando_Barbi** · 02-25-2004, 08:17 PM

TTU...sometimes it really doesn't matter how hard you try, what you say or do... teenagers are gonna make their choices. What we as parents have to do is make them understand that there are consequences to actions. Mine was the same way. Would NOT stay at school. I would take her, drop her off and pick her up at the end of the day. Guess what....when I left in the AM, so did she. When I got there to pick her up she was in front of school. She would delete the truancy calls from the message machine before I got to them. Long LONG story...I filed a truancy petition against her with the court. She did some time in Juvi. She also got in some other trouble....including trying to put her hands on me. After I restained her and shoved her face into the wall....I called and had her arrested for domestic violence and malicious mischief. I tired everything before I got to that point. Ground her???what a laugh. She would go out her window as soon as I went to sleep. I nailed her window shut...she broke it. She ran away.

I am NOT a pushover. Sometimes....they have to learn the hard lessons.

Send your sister here...I'll kick her a$$ like I did mine.

Hoss.....I'll kick yours too.....I don't care how tough you think you are.

ttuPrincess · 02-25-2004, 08:22 PM

Teenagers..... im glad I was an angel

I hope I can be a good of a parent as you are.....
But in the case of my mother.. she doesn't say anything ot her, she calls me and asks me to talk to her....

Back on topic.. HOSS have you done your homework????
