Academic Professor v.s. Millionaire Businessmen



Why not both? If you're rich and don't have an education you're missing out on a big part of developing your intelligence and analytical skills. I couldn't imagine not having degrees. Especially ones in the sciences. I'm definitely going as far as possible in academia before concentrating on business.

Because academia/college/degree != education -- often times quite the opposite.

No, no, no. Stupid people will always be idiots, but they'll definitely be smarter after going through college than flipping burgers at McDonalds.

If it's about money, then of course I'd have dropped out years ago, however there's much more to life than that. I simply cannot be fulfilled without a degree.

You're one of those people that pretend to be smart but have nothing but dust up there right?

Academic raised more red flags than the communist party.

No amount is worth dealing with a micromanager.

Love this quote:

My late friend, the accomplished Michigan ad man James Alexander, once told me: “I can work with a client who is ignorant. I can work with a client who is arrogant. But I cannot work with one who is both.”

Did you notice that a gender is not established until he refers to the ignorant and arrogant client as, "she" :bowdown:
 
Oh, come on, you can't be that ready to swallow the TV story?

It was a classic good cop (the students) / bad cop (the prof).

50% for $200k was assrape on the part of the Dragons. They blatantly realised what a bad deal they'd got after the show and wanted an honourable way out.

Jobloft were acquired the following year for a deal 'in the low 7 figures', apparently. And the students got a much bigger share as a result.
