WHAT THE FUCK does the above chart say?

You talk about talk about things not being THAT RARE, and then claim to never had made a statement about ratio. That may not be a number, but is a claim that a normal person's perception of success rate of an uneducated person is undervalued, based on your perception. You may not be living up to a number, but even as you claim not to be making a statement, you indeed are.

And when you talk about the successful small business owners you know, with the 'majority' without a degree, that does not say much. It should be obvious for anyone who has any understanding of statistics, is you have selection bias. The people you are looking at, and for most part would come into contact with or know to be small business owners, are successful. You don't generally know that the person serving you Starbucks was a failure at operating a small business, or the guy who is a VP at a major software firm was an acquisition following his small firm success and business degree.

People like me and Charlie give you shit because your arguments are weak and simply-put, dumb.

What do I do? I study econometric regression analysis, as well as other things.

So, you're still in school - your parents pay for your food and tuition and you somehow think that you are hot shit. congrats, really.

Once again - for people like lance who can't read -

I NEVER SAID THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WITHOUT DEGREES ARE SUCCESSFUL.

Maybe the caps will help it sink in.

I don't understand how this is happening - but I feel the need to explain myself again.

A degree is not REQUIRED to be successful. Anyone disagree? Let me know.

If not, gtfo

100s more are sweeping up trash at the Cinema or asking if you want fries with that.

Sounds like he is speaking from experience.

nah, actually... my university decided I was hot shit enough to pay me to go to school and not have me pay for tution, fees, books, etc. corporations and npo's cover the other expenses because of additional merit scholarships. student loans are however paying for my extensive study abroad experiences, which I plan to pay off with my post-grad job

but thanks for assuming psloan and making an ass out of yourself, again.

try again next time

Once again - don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. Still no age or job though?

I can one up you though -

I pay for my school in cash out of pocket before every semester

I have 0 debt, own my own brand new house, and buy whatever the fuck I want

I work at the largest NPO Hospital chain in the US and have more than 20 people working under me - many of which have degrees!!

Student loans are a joke. Read some stats on debt.

WHAT THE FUCK does the above chart say?

It deals with the log of wage as the y-variable, and multiple explanatory variables. For each increase in years of education, a person is expected to have a 5% increase in wage. 1.3% increase in wage with an additional year of experience, holding all other variables constant obviously - ceteris paribus

The model sees a 20% premium if you are married. And paid 13% less if black and 8% less in the South.

I wish that was the case a long time ago man.

Lance, don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. you never answered how old you were or where you go to school - because I know you don't have a degree.

Everyone who knows well enough I didn't get a girl knocked up know what school I attend and how old I am.

[Turf1600]

Oh and FYI - my job pays back 100% of my tuition at the end of each semester - up to 15k - because they think I am hot shit.

I don't - so quit avoiding answering.

If not, gtfo

do you agree or disagree?

[rwh11385]

Read some stats on debt.

Returns to education are 10-14% and student loans are 6.8%... clearly you don't know much about finance. And what kind of person with all this increasing globalization would forgo study abroad experience?

[Turf1600]

clearly you don't know much about finance.

when you get in the real world come back and talk to me. Until then, lol

I disagree with your exaggeration of how likely it is to be successful without one and your underestimate of how much more likely one is to be successful with one. Which is the basis of argument in much of the thread... and is ongoing because people on your side are too short-sighted to see how silly 'arguing' with exceptions is.

Mariano speaking about himself is an outlier and is an example of how one can do fine without traditional post-secondary education, but then again, in majority of the cases, he should have been lying dead somewhere from an OD or gunshot, or in jail. Don't make plans on exceptions. equate is going to end up burnt out and most likely not a parts manager, and just give up like he did when he was in real college.

When did I exaggerate?

Plus, I've only ever argued that there is an exception.
