That's right! Billy Gates did not finish college and yet is the one of the richest people in the world. The liberals are trying to make a big deal about certain conservative talk show hosts not having a college degree yet Walter Cronkite, Robert Novak and William Safire lack this same credential. (A cursory view of Hollywood stars is very revealing in this area as well.) Is it possible to be a highly trained and successful person without a college education? Have you ever heard of educated idiots? It is possible to hold a doctorate and still be ignorant because the best education of all is the school of hard knocks.
I am not disparaging a college or graduate degree. I have personally been formally educated myself and I greatly value this, but it is NOT essential for success. Success comes from knowing God and doing His will for your life. Just look at the so-called GREAT men and women of history, those who changed the world for good and you will see a very high percentage of these who were successful for this very reason.
A fascinating read on this topic is by Dr. D. James Kennedy and is titled: What If Jesus Had Never Been Born. This book tells us about truly great people and how we now benefit from their labors.
