I see people who didn't even finished high school and they have lots of money. These days education is now what it used to be. Knowing what people want is the key to success. It doesn't matter if you look stupid by doing something, but as long as it brings you money just keep doing it. There is that guy on the web, William Hung, who was at an American Idol audition and he really sucked, but with all of that everything changed for him since that day. He is now a millionaire and keeps doing the same things people laughed about then but he doesn't care at all. Money talks :) After finishing college I was able to realize that it may even not help at all in my future life. I see people who didn’t even finished high school and they have lots of money.
