you clearly didnt understand what i was saying. NOBODY gets handed money becuase they go to college. going to college or not going to college is a gamble, sometimes you make out good some times you dont

haha dont go to florida and start a business now, that place has huge unemployment. I actually took last semester off to prospect a business idea I had, but in the end decided it was not worth the risk at this time.

I was just saying that they all had successful ideas and the courage to gamble their lives on them. They could’ve all easily stayed in school and gotten their degrees.
