Billionaire Dropouts (Persuasive)

    Is College Overrated Summary

    In the article “Is College Overrated?” by Holly Epstein Ojolvo, mentions and explains Peter Theil’s program. This program grants $10,000 to 24 student under the age of 20 “to drop out of college to pursue tech start-ups” (Holly .1). By “tech start-ups”, Mr. Theil want student to drop out of college and do something with their lives with those $10,000 and maybe start up their own business, invest to improve or make technology, whatever the case may be, he wants to prove that college isn’t the only way someone can become successful.

    David Leonhardt's The College Dropout Boom

    For example, Andy Blevins, mentioned in the article, made the decision early on to drop out of college and continue working his job in a Virginian supermarket to support the raising of his family. At the time, he was perfectly content with living a quiet life and raising his children humbly. College degree or not, this is the kind of life many Americans would aspire to. I think that if somebody finds what makes them happy in life, that’s all that matters. There’s no need to strive and work hard to succeed and become rich if you’re happy where you are. However, even Mr. Blevins eventually came to the realization that not having a college degree leaves him with very few options in life. If he were ever fired or laid-off from his job, for example, he would have no experience or credentials available to search for a new one. This is the type of situation, in my opinion, that most Americans should try to…

    Are Colleges Worth The Price Of Admission Summary

    The main problem I’ve had here were with professors who’ve gotten ahead or above themselves because of their level and tenure. I do agree, however, with Hacker and Dreifus when they said some professors “have no reasons to improve their teaching” (181).Some of my professors at Grambling State University are wonderful, were some aren’t as wonderful. Some professors come to class…

    Although my father does not want to admit that even though he has finished college, he still does not have a job that supports him fully. Yet, he always instilled in me the importance of education. Now that I have grown up, and my father and basically every other adult in my life has told me that going to college was the only option, I’ve found myself wanting to explore my options more. For example, I’ve thought about going to the Air Force, Navy, Army, etc. Also, I have thought about starting my own business.…

    Scott Adams shares with us the ideal framework for an entrepreneurial curriculum. In his article How to Get a Real Education, he reinforces the fact that the whole is far greater than the sum of these parts, especially in the context of an entrepreneur. Adams tells us of a couple stories from when he was in college and how he used the skills of an entrepreneur to become successful. He saw opportunities, sometimes embedded within problems, and worked them to his favor. This is what he referred to when speaking of the learned skill of transforming “nothing into something”, which is a skill that obviously applies to business. His basic idea is that much academic-oriented education is wasted on many people. Scott says these people would instead profit from a much more skills-oriented education, “something useful, like entrepreneurship”. Adams is essentially informing these college students on how to make the most out of their schooling and what skills are needed to do so.…

    In “Saying No to College”, author Alex Williams proves there are many successful individuals in the world who have not graduated college and gives a plethora of different ways to gain knowledge besides sitting in a classroom. He uses examples like Mark Zuckerburg and Steve Jobs, to name a few, that have been successful without a college degree. He asks why pay money if you can make it? Williams shows how college basketball players attend college long enough to show their skills and meet the length requirement for the Professional Basketball League, then if they are selected for the pros, they drop out of college. Mick Hagen, who dropped out of Princeton and later developed the mobile app Undrip sees dropouts as “freethinkers, risk-takers… not tainted by groupthink”. Williams believes one can learn more from life experiences than a college degree. An example is Natalie Warne, who traveled on a gap-year internship after high school where she acquired experience in public speaking, event coordinating, and film editing. Eventually even appearing on Oprah. Williams acknowledges that not all professions can be attained without a degree like law or medicine. Yet quotes Michael Ellsberg, the author of “The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won’t Learn in College…

    Clarissa Harlowe "Clara" Barton was a pioneer nurse who founded the American Red Cross. In addition to being a hospital nurse, she worked as a teacher, patent clerk, and humanitarian. At a time when relatively few women worked outside the home, Barton built a career helping others. She was never married, as she knew the restrictions of a married woman at the time, but had a relationship with John J. Elwell. During the end of the American Civil War, Barton worked at a hospital she made helping the people at the Andersonville prison camp where 13,000 people died.…

    What Led Me to Go to College

    After graduating from high school I didn’t think about going to college, all I wanted to do was work, hang out with friends and play video games. So at the age of 17, I started working for my uncle at his liquor store for about a year. Throughout that time I attained a great amount of skills; ever where from management to customer service skills. With that being said, I thought about expanding; maybe getting a job elsewhere that will pay me a higher salary for the skills that I have. I applied to Liz Claiborne Inc. in North Bergen, NJ at the age of 18 and got hired as a product coordinator. I was so excited; I was only 18 and about to start making a salary nearly equivalent to that of a college graduate. At this point I thought to myself; “wow! I don’t need to go to college to make money”. I continued working for Liz Claiborne but after three years noticed what I had as a career wasn’t what really interested me, nor something that I wanted for the rest of my life. I was really just doing it for the money. Then, that’s when I realized in order to obtain a career that I always dreamt of, that college was something that I needed to accomplish. I started researching and asking myself questions like “why am I going to college? What am I going to get out of it?” then came up with answers, “if I don’t go to college I most likely won’t have a career of my choice”. If I graduate from college I will have an opportunity of living the American dream; a beautiful family, an enormous house, and nice…

    Mgt/230 Week 1

    One of the most important decisions of my life was choosing to go back to school. I was 30 years old, raising two kids at the time, and the last thing in the world I wanted to do was go back to school. I had previously attended cosmetology school and received a degree in its study. I had been working as a stylist for 5 years but it just was not enough. I needed to support my family and live comfortably and working under someone else’s authority could not fulfill my goals and dreams. One dream of mine is to one day own my own salon and become a successful business owner. I knew that a cosmetology degree could not teach me the skills needed to run a business and be successful. This is when I began thinking that I should go back to school for a business management degree. There was only one thing on my mind at this time, my age, I wondered if I could handle college at this point in my life.…

    Are Grades and Effective Means of Motivation?

    Grades are the least effective way of motivating a student. This can be said with such certainty due to the very nature of grades themselves. They serve to rank students against each other. Personally, when I feel as though somebody is putting me up against a friend, I feel much less willing to work harder for the class than if they were to simply tell me what I needed to change in order to excel. The Whitehall Study, performed in England 1967, has shown us with certainty that humans placed in a competitive hierarchical situation over prolonged periods of time will increase their chances of gaining cardiovascular disease by 40%. This shows us that students placed under similar…

    When given a writing assignment with no specified thesis, where I can write about absolutely anything that interests me, I become stressed and have the hardest time choosing a topic. That is exactly what happened just the other day when I was told by my professor to “write what I know.” Now most people probably think that selecting a subject is a fairly simple task when given no restrictions; however, I think that it is one of the most difficult things to do when writing a paper.…

    Rebellion is when one refuses to accept authority. The transition of childhood into adulthood is most often represented by actions of rebellious nature. The average teen is always looking for away to escape conformity. Two pieces of work that express a common theme of rebellion and conformity are, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and the movie Conspiracy Theory starting Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. Both pieces express this common theme of rebellious and conformity in a society that simply won’t allow it.…
