They're known as some of the most inspirational businessmen in history.

But the success of industry giants such as Sir Richard Branson and Lord Sugar is actually putting working-class boys off of further education.

A number of high profile celebrities who have gone on to make their fortunes after dropping out of education or choosing to not go to university are inspiring young men to following in their footsteps, according to a new report.

Don’t worry. The businesses will import foreigners to meet the demand. Drop outs will become billionaires, so why worry about working for somebody else? Don’t attend college, especially don’t attend engineering and scientific fields. Those fields are already full of Chinese and Indians anyway. Going from 60% foreigners to 100%.

It would be nice to see the liberal academia choking on its lack of need -— to the point of hurting financially for a change. So many degrees are useless. Obviously, there are other ways to earn money...many have, many are, and many will.

Follow the drug addicts... the white counterpart of black rappers.”Celebrities” that are 5 times divorced, have acquired all vernal disease known to man, and are going to be dead by 45 from drug/heroin/alchol. At lease the white celebrities don’t (openly) advocate murder, although they are equally pro abortion, so I am not sure.

so basically... it’s a crisis that lower IQ white kids have started to figure out that college is a big waste of time and money for them at least and that a useless degree wont change their lot in life but a mountain of debt sure will for the worse!?

shocking!

Well, those stories are ONE factor.

Another pretty big one is being told day and night EVERY DAY for 4 years or more that you’re a thieving, enslaving smallpox blanket distributor and the world would be better off without ANY white people.

Oh! And you’re a RAPIST for flirting.

Doesn’t sound like much but it’s a steady drum-beat EVERY SINGLE DAY.

And then you have to pay back $60,000, or more, usually.

Meh..!

No thanks.

most degrees are just a way for spoiled idle middle class brats to while away time boozing and fornicating and partying for four years and basically want to use university as a modern day finishing school until they marry well and their degree gathers dust in the attic.

The solution I really love is Silicon Valley conservative homo VC dude Peter Thiel:

"Show me an acceptance letter from an Ivy League and you're detailed biz plan and if you DON'T go to college I'll spring u the cash to start your biz idea --POOF! You save yourself 4 years.."

And kids DO take him up on it..!

Exactly; it’s not worth it and frankly after reading about safe spaces, I believe it will be best for me to just avoid the mess altogether.

Exactly; knowing how to plan out a business is something you don’t need to go to university for. A basic certification course will teach you everything you need.

The University system is optimized for females, ergo most students there are females.

And it’s exactly the same in the courts and in churches, too.

The ones you’re talking about are in Hollywood; Branson has kids who are working, well educated, and are likely not drug addicts.

They’re no so low IQ, as street smart and filled with common sense that comes from being down to earth and well grounded.

All of those females then become good little bureaucrats and create red tape and endless regulations that will stifle growth, lest people compete and WIN against others.

The truth that no one likes to admit or talk about is that lower class people of all races are generally less intelligent.

Yes, there are always exceptions, but the exceptions do not invalidate the truth of the generality.

We do people a disservice when we stick the thought in their mind that they can be anything they want to be. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Some people (most people in fact) will never be smart enough to be a brain surgeon, or a physicist, ect. We only set them up for failure for leading them to believe otherwise.

Well, some diseases especially venereal diseases, can be caught year round, not just in the spring.

The left puts such emphasis on a worthless degree, but Charles Kettering said it best, “The difference between intelligence and education is this: intelligence will make you a good living.”
