I mean, not going to college is one thing, but to quit high school is something else. Most of the people I know who quit high school is working some crappy job making a crappy wage.
I don't think this article is geared towards people in school at all. And I would think that Steve would say such, since he has a college education himself. |
I feel I have to comment on this, since I feel I have some responsibility in what's been said. I personally believe that not getting an education is a stupid decision. But I also think that not making your own decisions is stupider, and that it's never too early to start thinking for yourself. Sure, you might make some less than perfect choices at first, but the older you are and the more responsibility you have, the graver the consequences of your choices can be, so you'd better start practicing your desicion-making skills early.
Steve dropped out of college once (or got kicked out?) when he went without thinking it through, and only finished it when it was his choice.
