You need the education! You'll notice that all these billionaires had two things an idea or concept and strong will.
Now if you don't have these then you need the education so you can go and work for them and I doubt they'll go recruiting other high school drop outs.
The plan is to get the great idea and then employ someone more brighter than you to implement and run it.

BBI will solve it

Lets just say, if your father is not rich, very rich, you are not gifted with creativity, you come from kenya where who knows who gets the contracts or funding to push their ideas to the market, then you better be sweating your backside off in a class!

That is not smart by any measure; it is simple outright THEFT!!! I find it disturbing that you would admire her.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

In addition, in the US you can claim bankruptcy every 8 years and legally, legitimately discharge all your debt! This is based on biblical principals! So if it's legal to do every 8 years, how is that theft?

Have you seen the level of debt that people in the US are under? I'm not saying what she did was right. I never said that. I just laughed. But to each their own.

If you had a son or daughter, would you have him or her sit at home instead of attending university and go - argghh, s/he doesn't need a degree, in any case Larry Ellison didn't get one- ?
