@thedarknova,
You are one of the stupidest people I have ever spoken to. You're 13 and you are wrong. First you state that Ray Charles is "intelligent" because his net worth is 1 million (WHICH BTW IS DEFINITELY WRONG BECAUSE THE AVERAGE PERSON AROUND AGE 60 IS WORTH MORE. Not to mention a person making 52,000 a year would have a net worth of 2.1 million by age 65.) and then you state that money has nothing to do with it. So either 1. Ray Charles is a dumbass like I stated or 2. The stats I listed matter. I understand how stats work. I understand that school matters. I understand the basic concepts of life. You are sooo ******* stupid and I can tell you that professor is also stupid if he thinks school doesn't matter. THE FACTS ARE FACTS.
FACTS:
1. People with College Degrees Make MORE MONEY.
2. 80% of millionaires have a College Degree (PLEASE UNDERSTAND IT IS DUMB TO LOOK AT A EXTREMELY SMALL SAMPLE OF THE POPULATION (MILLIONAIRES) TO BASE YOUR LIFE DECISIONS ON)
3. Over a lifetime a high school dropout will earn 300,000 less than someone with a high school diploma and 1,000,000 less than someone with a college degree.
4. People with a college degree have a 50% better chance of getting employed.
5. 31.5% of high school dropouts are unemployed or underemployed.
