School is fun. Mainly the girls, hanging out, pickup bball games, just pissing around, etc.

So yea school rocks. The money? I'd rather be living a good social life along with a 9-5 than be a hermit making $1000+ a day. Money isn't all that great. It's the happiness that it "buys" you. Yes, you can buy happiness.. if it makes you happy when you buy an xbox 360, you're happy. Right now I'm just spending my blackhat cash on shoes, accessories, etc.. not so much investing it lol, but i'm loving it. Just bought a pair of puma suedes on ebay today

School is pretty great, college is nice

30% is an estimated 2.0397 billion people as of today.

Sorry, double post

I think after the 8th oder 9th class (in germany) school is superflous. We just learn things we will not need in the future and nothing good regarding the actual world and life.

School is probably the best period of our lifes. Yeah, I also hate school when i have exams, but hei, that makes our lifes. Everybody says (included me) that school won't help us. That is not true. School teaches us everything, including hanging out with girls haha.

meh school is overated......


real world experience is the best. I know people with Bachelors/Masters degrees who are dumb. Their systematic thinking types (school=good job=money=what I need). My personal belief...You=Money.

I have my Bachelors and its helped me get decent jobs (like the one I have now) but if your shooting for the big game.....honestly school won't help you. that comes from within.

most millionaires are entrepreneurs one way or another. entrepreneuring isn't really taught in school. the definition is introduced but the rest is left up to you.

If you want a decent job then go to school. If you want something more.....you won't find it in school.

School teaches you how to follow orders. It is a complete waste of time. For those really interested look up it's origins in Prussia and how it got be here. Of course I am referring to High school and grade school. College and further education can be nice if you are studying something you enjoy.

I am still in school, final year right now. I don't particularly enjoy school especially since my grade is so immature. There has been many a time where I have considered dropping out and focusing on something else such as IM. However in the end I enjoy knowledge, and I know that even when I am say 30 years old with a college degree or w/e. I know I will still be studying something or doing some sort of course or teaching my self what ever I want to know. It is just a thirst for knowledge and it makes me know that I have spent my time well.

You know why? b/c even if i was offered an executive position at a 9-5 environment I would NOT take b/c I don't want to work 60-70 hour weeks making someone else rich when I can make myself rich. I don't know though thats just me.

That is the dumbest shit I've ever read in my life. Are you kidding me??? I'm honestly not trying to be rude but that is so stupid. No income is guaranteed. To think once you hit the top there is no falling, is ignorant. You can have as much hope as you want in your business but don't be unrealistic. You should ALWAYS have a fucking backup plan. Even if it's not school, some kind of backup plan is necessary. And when you do internet marketing, there is a damn good chance you're making somebody else rich. You're just doing it at home.

So according to you, 2 billion people can reach $1000 a day?

Probably the smartest thing i've read in a while here at BHW.

If you made an affiliate sale, you're most likely getting a smaller part of the profit than your affiliate network does.

Same thing goes for Adsense, Craigslist, E-whoring,...

But do you care about that when you have enough money to fullfill your wishes and have a good life?

I'm not saying it's a bad thing.

I'm saying if the economy was super stable about 2 billion people would reach $1000/day out of the 6 billion people in the world right now (this is including africa, and other 3rd world countries that are still just in development)

Right now, not even 5% of the world population is making that kind of money.

Has nobody ever heard the phrase "80% of the worlds money is held by 10% of the worlds population"

Well, I'm a Forex Trader... so I know what kind of economic crisis we're in, and what income on average people are making right now, 15% of those that graduate ACTUALLY find a job in the field they studied, 40% approx gets a job related (but definitely underpaid compared), and the other 55% of the people get shafted and have to work at places like MacD's.

In order to fully understand economic states, you have to understand how the economy works.

Just because you study something does NOT mean... not even for a second, that you're going to get the job you wanted... or that your going to get a job that can pay back those student loans.

Does anyone here have any valid statistics on Graduate vs job found?

I'm so sick of hearing "90% of our students find employment within the first year" Well DUH... Anyone working at MacD's HAS employment, the best question is "How many of your students graduate and get a job IN the field they were studying?" or "How many of your students graduate and move on to make the "American Dream" income

Give me a break, learn world news and how it effects the economic stability of the world. And how that in turn effects economic growth, and how that in turn effects education importance. The world hase been in a down spiral since 2001, and by the looks of things, it's not getting fixed anytime soon, plans that are put in play to stimulate the economy failed and caused what is called a "Double Dip Recession" Like I said before, anything past highschool is up to you, if you want to spend (waste) several thousands of dollars to get a degree that may not even be able to help you in life, go right on ahead. If you want to socialize, you can do so without school, I have a network of over 1 million people (these are people that I know via internet & RL, and I didn't need to school to do it)

As a matter of fact, I know one of the most influencial and powerful men in Edmonton, and it didn't take no collage for me to obtain that contact for life.

Plain and simple, anything you can get from collage/uni, life can teach you, and experience you have, Life will give you... IF you have the patience, and the willingness to LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. I'm a 28 year old man who has had all of the things most people here are claiming is the best parts of collage, girls, parties, various social events, School is NOT needed to make connections in life.

I think the biggest problem here, is that people think churning out 10 ads a day on craigslist, only after having 30 ghosted that day, and getting a few hundred replies but only converting 3 of them, thus "making $90 a day", still think that this is "Success". Tricking horny men into entering their credit card each and everyday is not success dumb asses.

These types of post should be banned. As i say, every single week we get a new one and the SAME people chime in with their opinion.

See kids, this is why you shouldn't leave high school, otherwise you could become an illiterate like him. You don't want that, do you?

28 years old and you still think like a 14 year old(No offense to the 14 year olds here) who thinks BHW is the answer to life.

Grow up. Seriously.

I spent the better part of the first-half of the decade in college and grad school and am very glad I went through the process. Could I do my job now without what I learned then? Sure, but school isn't about job training, it is about enriching your life. I studied everything from early 20th-century post-modern French philosophy to computational linguistics and enjoyed every moment of it.

There are people that can be successful without finishing (or starting) college, there is no doubt about that. However, for most of them, a confluence of circumstances and events allows them this success. The biggest factor is hard work. I don't care what anyone says. Long-term success only comes with practice and hard work. For most people, college is a great way to begin to learn how to practice efficiently and productively.

Show me evidence that states otherwise, and the reason I stated I'm a forex trader is because it's my JOB to know the worlds economy.

And my spelling has nothing to do with my research, who cares if I can't spell, I never could, yet hold an IQ of over 135... you've got to learn that some people are not strong with particular things... such as spelling.

Ok there, I'm not the one who took what someone said, and turned it into something else. You need to grow up, and learn that there are bigger things happening in the world than BHW. YOU need to realize, just because I'm active in the forum, does NOT mean I'm "ALL ABOUT BHW, AND THERE'S NOTHING BETTER!!!!!"

Seriously man, get a life, better yet, learn a thing or two before you go spoutin your mouth off. It doesn't help you to produce insults if you can't back up what your insulting about.

Actually if you make $13 an hour you will make over $100 a day working 9-5. The only reason to stay in school are the parties and easy chicks!But

Possibly you took different points out of that. But... I took it as him leaning more towards higher education.

In anycase you made me laugh with :

As a matter of fact, I know one of the most influencial and powerful men in Edmonton,

1. Name dropping is never a good sign. Usually sets off my BS meter.
2. However the fact you name edmonton is even worse. For starters i didnt even know where that is when i first read it. Then even when i looked it up i was like, wtf... You name a "random" canadian city? Not even silicon valley etc?

No, what he said was he himself got his education, but he doesn't believe education is for everybody. And that long term success comes with hard work (which you can do in or outside of school) Which is exactly what I've been saying the entire time.

Didn't name drop, stating a fact that school isn't the only way to network, and that's proof.

As for Edmonton, it's one of the most prestigious cities in Canada. Has what was up till not long ago, the largest mall in the world. Just a few key points about Edmonton, it's not just some "Random Canadian City"

I think a poll should be done for "Why did you go to collage/uni?" with the choices being "Higher education" "Girls and Parties" "Networking" "Higher Education + Partying" "Higher Education + Networking" "Partying + Networking" and "All of the above"

Then we will get a good idea of why people went, to see if the "Higher Education" is the reason

I wish I invested the money spent on school in gold. Then I'd have a small fortune instead of being 20K in debt.

And you wouldnt have know this person if you went to college? I dont get it.

Originally Posted by pyronaut

No, I'm not saying that, what I'm saying is that collage isn't required to network.

From what I've seen thus far, most of the people went to party, get laid, and meet people (Network)

I've never gone to collage, I'm somewhat successful, and I know alot of the right people in my particular geographic location, I've obtained essentially the exact same thing as people who have gone to collage, the only difference, is I don't have a 10K-100K dept because of it.

I'm in college, but...

I'm not going to college so that I can get a job after I graduate. Hell no.

I'm going because if I don't go when I'm young, I'll regret it. Why would I regret not going you ask?

What other time of your life will you be surrounded by friendly, hot ass girls who want to make friends with everyone they can, including you? I think some of you were scarred by high school, so you think a lot of girls are bitches that want nothing to do with you.

That's so not the case in college. Everyone is there to make friends and have fun. LOTS of fun.

Why you ask? Because its the first time in your life where there are no parents to tell you what to do, what time to be home at, or why you can't sleep over at a girl's house. Hell, you'll find random people sleeping in your house/apartment all the time. But you don't care. Because you've done the same thing. Multiple times. And because its COLLEGE.

I'm going to college because its the funnest years of your life. Think I'm wrong? Then watch this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRVFfgoIKcg

If you think this is a fantasy, you're wrong. This is exactly how college is. At least this is how it is at my college.

So to sum it up:

I'm going to college because I enjoy geting drunk with a bunch of hot ass girls and dancing my ass off completely trashed until 6am at huge ass parties and getting a degree while I'm at it.

Go to college. They call it the best four years of your life for a reason you know. However, if you don't play well with others in the offline realm, aka the real world, don't waste your time. College will suck if you're a loner who doesn't have the balls to walk up to random chicks and meet them. College is 100% socially dependent.

I am making over $100 a day and I am still at a university. What if internet failed tomorrow? What if I got cut off? You know, shit happens - so I'll be working towards my bachelor, and then my masters degree.

Actually, it's YOU who needs to show the evidence, not me.
And since you're such an expert, i assume you won't have any problem finding the evidence.

And my spelling has nothing to do with my research, who cares if I can't spell, I never could, yet hold an IQ of over 135... you've got to learn that some people are not strong with particular things... such as spelling.

An IQ of over 135, and yet you refuse to use correct spelling AFTER i told you that it's 'College' and not 'Collage'. Is it really that hard to change 1 letter?

YOU need to get some better education.

Says the guy who has dropped out of high school.

you can't back up what your insulting about.

Here you go: http://en.lmgtfy.com/?q=define%3Acollege

It seems to me you're so full of yourself that you are simply blocking any information that is coming from anyone but you.

And another thing, i'm not telling you school is necessary for success, i'm telling you that everything you said in those quotes is bullshit.

Ask yourself: If school hadn't exist and they didn't force to learn english, math, writing and using the computer... could you earn what you are earning now?

Because you obviously need it, AND, where did I ever say "I dropped out of school" you gotta stop putting words in my mouth, I never once stated anywhere that I dropped out of school, get your facts straight, I notice that you've been on me right from the get go, you better backoff.

If that's not what your saying then you have nothing to say to me, take your little insult book, roll it up night and tight, and stick it up your ass, remember, need to roll it up NICE and TIGHT because your a tightass, and paper can cut you.

Here's a few resources you may find useful

No, that was in response to your little link on the definition of collage. Which proved nothing at ALL, so no, you didn't provide anything for proof.

Seriously, how bout you backoff, I've said my piece, and I gave my reasons, just like everyone else, why on earth you decided to pick me to make yourself feel better about your lack of intellect I have no clue. I've provided as many valid points as anyone else.

Either way, I'm still waiting to hear where I said "I dropped out of high school". Care to shed some light on that??? Because so far, I'm not the one who put things in peoples mouths, you are.

You know what? I bet you're just trolling. HAHA, ok you got me, you were just trolling. That's a relief, seriously.
There's no way people as stupid as you pretended to be can really exist...Well, atleast i hope not here on BHW.

Ok so, I put my piece in, and you start ripping me up, and I'm the troll??

anyway, like I said, I gave my piece, and that's that, you can try to troll more if you want, but I'm ignoring you due to your complete lack of minor brain functions. You can continue to live in your fantasy world where neive people are found to be a dine a dozen.

I remember school. It was a great place to get laid. Got a degree in there somewhere, too. It's nice to have something to fall back in just in case the Internet doesn't catch on.

I didn't graduate high school and I am doing just fine.. thanks to BHW... actually had my very first 1K day the other day

I believe school is a waste of time.. they force you to SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, and listen to what they want you to learn. Sure, at the end of the day you might turn in a paper with the right answers but 10 years from now you don't remember what the hell you learned.. (1 or 2 ppl will say they still remember)

the only thing i miss about school is all the girls, also regret not going to college for the same reason.. they always seemed to distract me 100% from my work anyway lol

The "college" method has become oversaturated.
Go to learn and better yourselves; nothing more.
