i had this discussion with my freind few days a go i ve noticed that you must not go to school to be rich infact it seems like if you want to be rich you should not go toschool.
i cited instaces of poeple like edison, ford rockfeler and many more who never were educated but made most of the money during their time
i argued that the education system need to be repositioned to tackle the problem of the this age.the education system need to tranformed from the current outdated format to suit the thinking of the 21st century.

Going to a univerity has little to do with who much a person earns. Bill Gates has been the richest person on the planet for the past 13 years. He attended Harvard. Warren Buffett, the 2nd richest person, Attended Univ. of Pennsylvania. Ingvar Kamprad, the 4th richest person, did not attend a university. Sheldon Adelson, the 14th richest person, attended no university and has a net worth of $16 billion.

Getting educated makes you more knowledgeable and civilized but it has no connection with your getting rich. There are number of examples in world where an illetrate person has created a billion dollar empire whereas the graduates from Harvard and Oxford university have been seen breaking it. :)
