........of the most successful people I know who never managed (or cared) to get a college degree. The requirements to get on the list are simple: not being a college graduate; being fifty-sixtyish in age; being a contributing member of our community; working smart enough to have become financially independent; being able to think for one's ownself; knowing that learning is a lifetime project; and, realizing that life isn't fair and that it doesn't grade on the curve. I like my list, mostly because I like hanging around with the people on it.
Anyway, what brought this story about my list to mind was this blog post from Mike Munger. Wee excerpt here:
For my big finish, I said "Nobody cares about your G.P.A. You have wasted more than $150,000 here, avoiding an education."
