guy who does not believe in education-is 31

[joe45]

just posting for a female friend and she tells me this

what you think of datng a guy with just grade 12 window washer in skyrises and says he can make it rich by owning his own company, and doesn't believe in education or going back to school for a college or any schoolling.before that he was doing hazarous materials
a lot of demo aspestos, black mold, uranium and lead plus we did emergency response
cleaning up after oil spills
he says he has had a lot of friends who went to college/univ and couldn;t find work related to their field. so he doesn't believe in schooling and won't go.

he thinks he can do it and is content with his job and thinks he can make millions and millions
just asking would you date a guy like this seriously? he is like 31 too

Do you have a reason not to believe him? I dropped out of university and won't be going back. I am doing better then any of my friends and my business is only going to grow.

no I wouldn't date a guy.

seriously, how does this relate to anything we are learning here? Unless its about selling a woman a dream. Some women will buy into your dream if you sell it with passion. Many of millionares have no formal education but replace it with passion and drive and hire all of those college educated people to work for them.

The window washer has a point, but not a good one. There are alot of fine college grads using their masters degrees at McDonald's drive through.

And there are those inspirational stories of the guy who quit college and made billions (Bill Gates comes to mind)

HOWEVER....How many Bill Gates are there?

What are the odds of him actually doing what he plans to?
Does he know business law?
Does he have a bankroll to get started?
Does he have a business plan drawn up or is he "winging it"?
Are there investors? (Would YOU give several grand to a guy who says education is worthless, but I'm gonna make millions?)
What are his marketing strategy?
Who is his clientel base?
Is he going with retail or web-based sales?

Ther are lots of things to consider when starting your million dollar baby, and education helps you make the right decisions at the right time.


Would I date him??? Well, if he's a DJ with a strong game I guess I couldn't resist, could I?

Well, according to some feminist members on this forum, you can be a cab driver and marry an HB10, as long as you have game. Most of the feminist members here say that money and looks have NOTHING to do with marrying a hottie. But I would rather take my chances with education.

Go to school fool. Never stop learning, ****wad.

I'm an advocate for the 'go to school,' train of thought. However, this will only apply if you know education is the step you want to take in order to 'succeed'. It may be different for others. After all, success isn't a measure of how well you do in comparison to everyone else around you.

I think there are some people in this world who couldn't hold down a job even after getting a phd and there are others who have the motivation and drive to become really succcessful. A basic education is a necessity however further or higher education isn't the only route to havin a successful career. I'd date someone less educated than me if they had the passion and determination to get somewhere in life.

Who cares about education? If you like him, date him.

I nearly failed out of high school, and barely made it into college, only to drop out after the first year to focus on my business. I'm in my early 20s and I made six figures and run several businesses.

If he's smart and ambitious enough, a college degree means nothing. I know guys with Phd's that do nothing but talk about theory and how smart they are.

Ambitious, and BALLS is what counts in this lifetime. Not school. Do what makes you happy.
