College dropout Bill Gates says: Help Wanted: 11 million college grads
To his credit, Gates does address the fact that he was a college dropout. He writes,
That’s an achievement we should all celebrate. Although I dropped out of college and got lucky pursuing a career in software, getting a degree is a much surer path to success.
College graduates are more likely to find a rewarding job, earn higher income, and even, evidence shows, live healthier lives than if they didn’t have degrees. They also bring training and skills into America’s workforce, helping our economy grow and stay competitive. That benefits everyone.
Entrepreneurialism be damned! Do not take risks like Gates did, youngsters. Follow the “surer path to success” by earning a degree in comic art or floral management. Apparently, it benefits everyone.
