All goes to show that in America you don't need an education to make millions.

Some even get elected President or Governor.

So why did I spend so much on School.
 
President Bush: Bachelors Degree from Yale University, MBA from Harvard Business School. Flew Jets. The US government doesn't let morons fly around in $25 million dollar toys.

Graduate from the School of Hard Knocks. Left engineering school to go into marketing. Immediately quit several years later to start my own company after finishing 2nd in a National Marketing Competition. (Lost to a guy selling bottled Rocky Mountain Air to the terminally ill, but beat out the guy selling window blinds that revealed naked women when lowered.) Turned down 58 job offers to scrap and claw and be my own man instead of working for someone else.

Currently own and/or manage 6 Companies. Starting a new Internet business with Joey so I can force Joey to become a rich guy so all you lefties can hate him for his success. I should probably spend a little more time working but I garner such gratification by simply antagonizing you, work just doesn't have the same appeal.

I barely graduated from High School. Got into college on SAT scores. Flunked out of college and started my own business. I only have one business. Poor me.

What does own/manage mean?

Haven't you missed the irony of your thread?

Not really. I am not in the public eye with a camera in my face. I reach an audience of a couple dozen, not a couple million. Big difference as I see it. I would only hope that if I were in Hollywood, I would be as intelligent as Tom Cruise and just keep my mouth shut. Do you know which way he leans? Nobody does. That's smart. In my case, I doubt I would be able to stay silent so I would probably land on the list myself. So I guess you are right in that sense. Now you are ruining my buzz. That's no fun.

The real irony to be seen is all the Hollywood types that run around calling Bush stupid when he is, in all actuality, a very intelligent man. That's the point I was trying to make.

Mespock,

Do not belittle your advanced education. You should be proud to attain advanced degrees. The shame comes when you don't use them.

I use it everyday. I never regret my education or my profession, I love my job.

Have to take a lot of heat as teaching is one of those positions that tax payers always like to complain about. Along with disgruntled parents who can only blame schools as the fault of their children lack of success, instead of looking at the time they spend with their children. If they only knew that the more they would work with their children's teacher the more success their children would have. You can't believe the turn around children have when their parents and teacher work together. Sometimes parents forget that we are working for the same cause, the success of their children.

I knew I was never going to become rich being a teacher, I only knew that I would enjoy being one.

Hey, and I drive 2 Lincolns you can't complain about that.

Oh and Bryan thanks for the flat pitch, I've put a lot of balls out of the park.
 
Education is no mean of intelligence... I know way too many ingeniors who cannot do anything else then pushing their pencils. They only know what they have been told to know and can't barely think by themselves.
Is Buch really intelligent only because he went to university, not sure... Money can buy lot of things, especially diploma, and money, he has a lot !
Is Kerry more intelligent, who knows ? Not sure it's quite intelligent at first to go for presidency. Power seems to make people acts stupid.
I've completed my college (here in Quebec, there's college after highschool... kind of pre-university, anyway...), did one term in university, hate it and went to work instead. I don't own any business, but I have my house, my girlfriend and I are waiting our first child, we're happy, and we don't care about being intelligent or not ! (though we are !) :)
 
This is so sad. Does anyone proofread these posts? :frown:
Correction: Does anyone proofread THEIR OWN posts? :slam

BTW, I worked at the San Antonio Express-News for four years, which I had some editing experience. During those years, I did go to Incarnete Word College, majored in psychology,worked a 2nd full-time job at a Chinese restaurant and within the last month of my second year, dropped-out, quit the Chinese restaurant, lost not only an impending child due to miscarriage,but also my fiancee (who was so distraught she lost the child) and the home we were living in. 1992 was a WONDERFUL YEAR!
 
Randeaux,

While I believe it is important that papers and proposals be correctly spelled and phrased I hardly think that it is appropriate to chastise someone in this forum because of their use of words or poor spelling.

I'm guessing that English might be their second language. Poor grammar doesn't make their point less valid. I think that that is the point that MonsterMark has been trying to make about our President. On this point we can agree.
 
Sorry that 1992 wasn't good for some of you guys. But I happened to have a good 1992. That's the year I went to basic and AIT for infantry (National Guard). Although I did NOT enjoy it and would never want to do it again, it's an experience I wouldn't trade for anything. That's also the year my 2nd girl was born. And I am thankful for all I have, despite my intelligence level ;).
 
My Divorce was final in 1992, I was awarded the custody of my children and given the house and basically everything.

Only bad thing about 1992 is it started 13 long years of that ditch taking me to court for every stupid little thing. Kid gets a cold why didn't you tell me! I'm taking you to court. - Wish some Lawyers would have some ethics in matters like this and instead of looking at the money they could make, tell people like this get a life.

Sorry was thinking of 1992.

1993 was a much better year, met my wife to be and wow what a gift that has been. Sorry guys there is only one of her. I found her, she's mine. She may never be on the cover of Cosmo but she's not bad to the eyes either. Also, you'll never find a more caring heart. It's a democrate thing. Thought I had to make this political as this is a political thread.

This is a place for fun and R&R this isn't work, or school. Nobody is being graded, nobody's contract depends on how good your english looks. When it matters we all know where to go to get the proof reading we need.

But, if you have to pick on someones grammer or english - Just look at good old GW and he's our President.

I'm still digesting the Mexican-American in the Chinese restaurant comment.

And I do agree with Barry. I have to spend alot of time re-editing my posts for spelling mistakes and I know for a fact that my punctuation leaves alot to be desired. I should have paid attention in English class but it was my least favorite subject. Anyway, we should all give lots of leadway when it comes to posting. It is tough to express yourself properly, especially every time you post.

Hope your wife isn't into reading your comments on this site. The couch for you pal. Look what happened to Arnold. All he did was make some nice comments about Republicans at the Convention and he said he was cut off for 2 weeks. LOL. That one should earn you a month of detentions.

She'd know what I meant. One fantastic lady!!! And get cut off! Hey dude not her.

For a good many years we had the same lunch time. Came back from lunch many days with a great smile on my face. Then a new job and bummer no more nooners, but she made up for it with 7 days straight I was the one who was worn out.

Gotta love that woman.
