Quit which school?
Changes things, doesn’t it…
Indeed, quite a difference between dropping out of harvard or some major university half way through. Second even with 10-15 examples… I’m sure I can also find pictures of 15 people who won the lottery… That dosn’t make it a good idea to play it.
We have 4 billionares who quit school. I bet you a quick tour of a single local prison will show you 100 inmates who quit school.
Small prison you’ve got there…
Or a prison with a lot of intelligent inmates.
Or a prison with few inmates
or the prison’s tourist plan offers a 100 inmate viewing maximum.
i work at a prizon and all tours have a strict 100 inmate viewing policy. if someone sees 101, then we have a stern talking to to that individual i tell yah what bobbeh.
Black inmates*
the poster is WRONG. Those people didn’t quit school to become billionaires, they quit school to do what they love instead of sitting in the classroom listening to lectures.
Nope they quit school to work hard and become billionaires, not because they love to work. Also if you just sit and listen to lectures for 4 years of college then you should find a decent college.
No, those people quit school to work hard doing what they love while their rich parents supported them until they became billionaires using their mind-boggling intelligence.
“It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple”
Steve Jobs’ adoptive parents were really supporting him after he dropped out of Reeds College. *Caution Sarcasm*
Bill Gates left Harvard because the one computer Harvard had at the time wasn’t powerful enough for him. His parents bought him one that was better.
you might convince me that it’s ok for you to quit school if you could actually spell “quitting”..otherwise, stay in school and learn to spell!
SPELLING QUITTING WRONG.
Only OK if you quit school
Quite.
I expect to see a Demotivational of this tomorrow. (I would do one myself but they don’t make it easy to base it on a featured image.)
If only there was a button underneath the image about tunneling or something.
The smartass brought it on himself. Don’t try to look cool when you’re an idiot.
Thank you. I was beginning that nobody else noticed it.
*beginning to think
^^^^ This.

Quitting school, because you are smart enough for university.
ivy league especially… cause getting in is harder than hell…
More about who you know…
Having a graduate in the family helps the most.
I quite school also. Quiting school is quite superb
Unfortunately getting a higher degree is more about perseverance and discipline than intelligence. Employers like to see that you can start and finish a long term commitment.
After discussing the matter with people involved in corporate IT HR, it seems like it’s usually more about quickly filtering a large stack of applications…
Finishing a long term commitment just to finish a long term commitment seems silly, and is certainly not efficient. Stopping useless, costly actions as soon as possible seems like a virtue to me (not that I’m implying higher education is useless). Employers want as much as they can get out of their paid employees, so the “commitment” argument doesn’t seem very valid.
However, if you just exclude all applicants without degrees, then the process gets a bit easier for the people doing the hiring (even if the best applicant had no degree).
That’s not really accurate. Higher degrees correlate really well to IQ.
If you pass high school you can only guarantee ~105 IQ
Bachelor’s ~115
Master’s ~120
PhD/MD ~125
There’s a reason most employers equate a Master’s to two years of experience and require a PhD for level 6 positions.
Then again, those who hold the discipline to persevere are typically more intelligent. I do understand your point — as the world is litered with geniuses who are lacking in both integrity and work ethics.
um if i remember correctly Gates and Zukerberg both quit school because their companies were taking off and didn’t have time for school.
School is perfectly fine.
It’s people who have degrees in Bisexual Chicano Studies or 12th Century English poetry who are shocked to find 0 jobs in their expertise that have a hard time once they graduate.
Technical schools people. Cheaper, more focused, probably better for you in the long run.
But I really thought I would make millions with my Bisexual Chicano Studies degree.
The only job you can get is teaching a Bisexual Chicano studies course.
The term folks is called a self licking lollipop…
If I had a self-licking lollipop, I’d never leave the house.
nope, gotta go with the demotivational tomorrow about how to spell quitting, predictable
Yeah they quit school. But they were smart enough to get into Harvard, Stanford, etc. in the first place. They didn’t drop out of some no name Community College. They quit because their visions were at a point that attending classes would just get in the way and hold them back.
They all also come from very affluent families who have the extra money to throw into a start up and not worry about going under with failure.
“And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.”
I would like you to correct you terribly incorrect usage of teh word “all” to exclude Steve Jobs, whose working class parents definitely did not have the extra money to throw into a start up.
He says he lived like this:
“It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. ”
RESEARCH PEOPLE, RESEARCH!!!!
Fun fact: Albert Einstein dropped out of high school too.
Fun fact: Elvis quit school !!!
Fun Fact: George W Bush went to Harvard and Yale.
Because his daddy had the money to pay for it
…and had a higher GPA than Kerry.
U mad, greggy?
All of those guys work in a field that didn’t have adequate college courses in the 1970′s, and many would say still don’t today. Their lack of a degree didn’t hurt them because they were literally pioneers in their field whose college professors couldn’t tell them anything they weren’t in the midst of inventing for themselves.
Having said that, if you’re studying for some BS liberal arts degree, you should drop out now, so that you will owe less money when you inevitably can’t find a job that pays better than stocking shelves at Wal-Mart. Of course, being college educated, you wouldn’t do something so demeaning, so you’ll probably make less money overall doing foodservice in a trendier neighborhood, living in a half-ghetto, half-hipster neighborhood, with several roommates who all have a different deviancy of choice.
Or get a real degree in science or engineering. But those are hard.
when it boils down to it didnt gates just backstab his friends,
and jobs just put a pretty face on unix
(to start with until they could both aford to hire ppl to do it all for them)
Yes – those are hard, BUT they kick ass!
Besides, Engineering is not hard if you are good at math.
My sister thought for the longest time she wanted to be a forensic coroner. Then she discovered it was too gruesome for her. So when she started college, she wanted to be a nuclear engineer. Then she learned that was basically sitting in front of a computer all day. Her next major was ceramic engineering. But, when NASA lost most of its funding, she wasn’t going to have a career in that.
Now she’s a straight-up math major, and is going to teach theoretical mathematics to kids. Funny, how she went from something that’s well-established, to something new and pioneering.
You can quit school, as long as you’re willing to live in abject poverty.
really the only people that made it possible to not go to school cause you can use their inventions to teach yourself
Good job coming up with 4 examples of successful people who quit school. Now, let’s make a list of people who quit school and are now living below the poverty line. I’m guessing it will be a little longer.
Quiting? You’re school quit on you!
