I agree Zeph, i dropped out of high school 2 weeks before grad (don't know why know, i was an idiot attempting to prove something due to high doses of testosterone and drunk with youthfulness) but i did later go back and get some college.
It's not necessarily the education as it is the lack of timidity that can often get you ahead, IMO. I know lots of folks with degrees doing nothing with them. Not everyone can excel, sometimes simple fate intervenes. We aren't guarenteed material wealth.
My grandfather always told me that an education is something nobody can take from you. I disagree, time dulls the memory erasing those imprints of knowledge if you don't use it. Not to mention our minds are like computers, health and abuse can interefere with years of gathering you have achieved. Knowledge is a good thing, but don't think you'll always have it in your head..... that's why i write it down, lol.
