It amazes me that the two most sucessful guys in radio-- Rush and Hannity-- are both college dropouts.
VERY lucky guys I think. Yes, they are talented, but boy, they are also VERY lucky.
Don't forget Bill Gates.
So is Bill Gates.
I agree it is remarkable, but I have a different take on success.
There is no need for a degree to succeed.
A salesperson, for example, may be taught the specifics of what is needed to know about a product, and once they have that, they need interpersonal skills, and the ability to get information they do not have in their brain.
Some of the most successful people have made it on the basis of their own hard work, not a diploma. That is precisely what makes this country so great.
In this country, anyone, and I mean ANYONE who wants to work and get ahead, can do it, and do it brilliantly.
It just takes hard work.
they are also VERY lucky.
I think that they were very smart. It takes intellegence to see that there is a hole in the market and fill it in a winsome manner.
