Has the whining gone so far that lawmakers from Texas are willing to waist time on the hill introducing bills to change collage football? Is this what we Americans want them spending, what little time their at work, on? No wonder this country is going down the toilet, priorities.

This is why politicians are so irrelevant. There are no more important things to spend their time on?????????????????????

slightly off/on topic (depending on how you look at it), I feel like your level of education isn't going to help you get to the point where you can afford that. Some people just have that drive/x-factor that makes them successful.

I think its like those leadership clinics people go to. Not everyone can be a leader...who would follow?

Maybe that is what is driving Governor B from Illinois. He saw all these great exotics and say, WHY NOT ME?????????????

Well said. Some people with no college set out with passion and zeal and have whatever the X factor is to make them crazy kabillionaires. Some people with PhD's are working office slugs with no return on investment. I have worked with the latter.

Well said. I personally know of a multi-millionaire that's a high school drop out. He's cool guy to talk to as well, very approachable unlike these dick CEOs from big corporate america.

Education is a broad term. It has several different meanings, whether it be schooling, job experience, or just going for the gusto.

Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Micheal Dell, Walt Disney, Milton Hershey, all dropouts and all multi millionaires.

Multi millionaire/billionaire, what's it really matter at that point. They can wipe their butt with $100 bills regardless.
