Bill Gates went to the top college, had a vision, and made his own company. Steve Jobs doesn't even know how to code. Gabe Newell - read "Bill Gates" |

The creator of twitter
When he was a kid, he was interested in trains and maps. He looked at a local railroad's website and noticed a vulnerability in their code. He e-mailed them the error and how to correct it. They offered him a job.
That's how he got his first job. He got it because he could code.
And he coded some of twitter himself. |

Okay, coding experience does not make you rich. What you do with it does.
ACTUALLY, it's not a good idea to have being rich in mind when you're coding, you should have what kind of an impact your product will have on productivity, (If it's a game, a bad impact is good. If it's not a game, a good impact is good.) and an impact on society. |

| Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were both high school (or college, correct me if I'm wrong) dropouts. |

| Not related to coding, but Albert Einstein was a high school dropout. |

if anyone thinks that using a children's game as a platform counts as experience, they're wrong
also, betting your entire future on some half-assed business venture is a bad idea, even if others may have gotten lucky |

Everyone in my family does.
>shows someone how to use google chrome >"you're so good with computers" >"you could be the next steve jobs"
I'll have you know that Steve Jobs was an idea thief who ripped people off for a living before dying of cancer. I don't want to be Steve Jobs. |

| People don't compare me to anyone else, as I'm incomparable in a few ways. |

Dem smart people think differently than education systems require, that's why they are dropouts.

I think it works like so:
if someone thinks they can do something without learning much more from schools, they dropout; but if someone is not sure, the go to college as an insurance; then of course, there are the drg dealers. |

| Happy that I will be able to move to next school next year. At this primary school thing I was wanting to learn, but all I got were some good, educating lessons, while others not much at all. |
