It actually is. That piece of paper is what you can fall back on when your 'innovative' business fails 'innovative-ly'.

That's bullshit lol. Need I explain the benefits of a proper education over those of not having one and risking your money in an 'innovative business' that could potentially fail leaving you with 'absolutely nothing'.

Yeah, 1 in a few thousand strike lucky. But this $100,000 giveaway will encourage thousands out there to drop out and try something 'innovative'. I wonder how many of them will actually succeed and how many will fail in their life because of some guy who was giving out $100,000 to people to quit education.

Education is a good idea. College is fine but it's only one way to get an education.

[Lifetalk]

It's a 'start' of sorts. School's the stepping stone. College is where you polish and perfect your passion/skills.

Has he gotten $2 million worth of publicity from this stunt yet?

True. Not like I'm saying college is waste of time but it's all about following your heart. To do what you want to do in life.

Although this is true, that's not what society whats you to do. And most of the time, that's not what friends, family wants you to do. They want you to finish high school, go to college and get a job and start a family.

At least thats how it is where I live and I'm pretty sure its like that in a lot of places..

If you don't do that, you might be judged as a failure unless you proved them wrong by opening up your own business or otherwise.

Well, here's difference ACE. I do not care what my friends and family think.
Trying to sabotage my goals or even worse telling me I can't do it, is going to make me even more angry.

I don't need such friends and family. My point is, people don't like that, so if let's say you're fat, poor, dumb and you try to change that. Work to become smarter and get cash, exercise to get nice body, people/friends will try to take you down. Because they don't want you to change, they like you as you are, fat, dumb and poor. Because they know they would feel so shitty and jealous if you become hot, smart and rich.

I think that's what most people lack, they are so unstable, so easy to manipulate, think they should always play by the rules.

Yes, my parents always say I'm stubborn, but at same time they are proud because they know I'm one tough motherfucker.

You might say here we have another boohooo thinking hes something but it's true. And I was one of the best in my class (high school + college) but I NEVER EVER put school on #1 place.

Insane? Well, since I was kid I had such attitude, and trust me I like where I am now. You have to be bitch if you want to get somewhere in life, that's it.

You can continue your education then. Hey, you at least tried - and you will learn a lot in that process, something you cannot get from attending college.

I'm in with that PayPal guy ! ( In a non-gay manner )

You need cash to pay for education. Cash you won't have because you invested all of it in your business (most common scenario).
