What Colt said.


Over a lifetime a college grad will earn ~50% more than a high school grad.

I'm hoping this reply is a joke stayingalive. Maybe if you went to college, you would have the research skills to pull accurate salaries for H.S. Diploma vs. B.S. You would also have the math skills to provide a real break-even analysis, instead of the chickenscratch you listed here from your bar napkin!

OK, i did exaggerate my numbers slightly, but my point is don't expect to be BALLIN with a 6 figure job when you get out of college. It really depends on major, be a doctor, lawyer, finance guy, or engineer and you will be fine, maybe not 6 figure fine, but fine.

College is fun though. Go to college, sleep with as many freshmen chicks as possible, and have fun. Thats what I did, and it has worked out well for me.

I just know a whole bunch of people who thought they would be pushing benzes and now work at starbucks after graduation.

Sniper,

I was being a bit facetious but you do realize that his story is all made up and his money is made through selling get rich books et al?

There was neither a rich dad nor a poor dad, just some dude who fooled a bunch of people and got rich.
