Default Modern Day Chris Gardner...

Do you think the Chris Gardner story is possible today? It seems like if you dont have a degree in finance/economics you cant get your foot in the door as a broker/trader... let alone
someone who never went to school.

What do yall think? if not, what would be today's equal? someone who just went to college and got a BS major?

Who's that? Wasn't he a small forward for the Knicks in the 80's?

He's talking about that homeless man who is now a millionaire. There was just a movie made about him starring Will Smith called, "The Pursuit of Happyness."

yes, the modern day story of Chris Gardner... the homeless man who works hard and lives his dream to be a small forward for the New York Knicks.

And they put Will Smith in that role? He's too short!

Nice, I finally got to really second level someone. I thought my use of "moran" to cticize an non-misspelling might give it away but no!

I saw the movie free at an advance screening--very good movie. Nice change of pace from the normal Hollywood B.S. Highly reccomended.

People misspell moron all the time, so no, it didn't give it away. You just "2nd leveled" yourself as just another troll. Whatever, I don't care. At least you didn't have evil intentions and you came through and rectified the situation so I don't look at you as an idiot anymore.

Good movie then?

Nobody has answered OP yet.

Can't be done. You need a top degree. Period.
