Comment on Will Dropouts Save America?

Comments

One must not mistake education with school. Sometimes they are linked, sometimes they are not.

It would be foolish to take away from this article that education is unimportant - all of the people listed are incredibly well educated.

The well educated will save America. How many of these people have gone to school, that's another matter altogether.

I would like to echo this sentiment. Further, having read the author's book 3 weeks ago, I'm confident even he wouldn't say the uneducated are going to save America. His book is about the alternative education that you can give yourself if you choose to seek it out, particularly around topics that are business centric (sales, marketing, personal branding, networking, etc.).

The point of the book is that he found common themes in the people who didn't have college degrees but who did attain business success.
