Scribbles of An Ape

According to this article the dropouts of America are carrying us to greatness. Because most of the people who created much of what we use is now were dropouts; he believes that college isn't as important than everyone makes it out to be. Day in day out entrepreneurs start businesses without and without college degrees. With that being said I do believe that college degrees are very important. College degrees help you expand in life so many different ways. In which case this Ellsberg should not be encouraging people to not go to college.

Ellsberg mentions how all these famous people without degrees have done so much. Of course I realize that yes they have done a lot for us. Many people are out fighting out Macs and the same amount of people are at home using Microsoft pcs. What people don't get is that none of this stuff is really important. The people with degrees are doctors and lawyers, people we actually need. Of course these people also use what the college dropouts make but the difference is we actually need these people. We don't need Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. We need a doctor or a fire fighter to save the children in America when we are in need. Ellsberg also pointed out the fees it costs to go to college. These college dropouts wasted money when they dropped out. They are the reason we are in such a bad economy now. They should have stayed in school and payed off their debts. Now the parents are out money and so is the government. The dropouts don't really benefit anyone. All they do is make things we love to use while they make money. On the other hand people who do go to college are highly successful. Consider the line “companies started by college graduates were twice as successful in sales and employment compared to companies started by dropouts or who didn’t enroll in college". (Shane) So in the long run when you go to college and then start your own you will be able to earn more than the people who didn't go. Sure may not have such an exciting job but you'll be doing what you love and making more profit than the next amateur who didn't go to college.
