49ersfan··on You are your own(ly) limit.
This will be, for many people, unattainable. I won't deny that it is uplifting, and I am genuinely happy that you are experiencing a modicum of success, but it takes more than looking in the mirror for most people.

The points you raise do have merit, and I would suggest this post to anyone who is thinking of taking the plunge and starting their own blog or project.

49ersfan··on What's wrong with higher learning?
This comment is preposterous. It is clear that something needs to be done, the question remains: How long until people realize that a stack of those millionaires and billionaires didn't make their money from playing the slow and steady route?

Those guys at the top of forbes wealthiest list are college or highschool dropouts - and look at them now.

It's impossible to assess the tangibility of something like this. These are institutions of higher learning, what do you expect them to do? Start giving lessons in Beer Pong and how to gel your hair, BRO?

Brendan does raise a good point, it's not always the price of the education that matters, it's what you learn and how well you use it.
