Oomis1105: I didn’t say education wasn’t important, of course we need jewish doctors, lawyers, etc. What I am saying is that for a girl to only go out with a guy who is college educated is foolish, going to college doesn’t make you educated any more than going to the Mir makes you a masmid. I work with a lot of people who are college educated and the majority of them are barely holding on to their jobs, of course they probably wouldn’t even have a job if they didn’t go to college so college is good for most people. I fail to see how not going to college has hurt me, except in the narrow minded opinions of some college educated people. I’ve known from a young age what I want to do and I’ve educated myself in the areas that I need to be educated in. IMO going to college, unless I made my parents pay for it, would have hurt me. I also don’t believe it’s a coincidence that so many billionaires dropped out of school and that the average net worth of forbes 400 members without a college degree is higher than those with college degrees. If people want to look down on me for not going to college, that’s ok, I expect to be too busy counting my money to care.
