A Data-Driven Guide to Becoming a Consistent Billionaire
I had a month long heated debate in a eco/alternative economy political party I was a member of a few years back (I'm Danish so we're talking really liberal), about the value of education. The majority didn't value it, and as such didn't want our political program to support it. It eventually led me to leaving the party because it was just too silly for my blood.I specifically remember when I used a good friend of mine. A dyslexic CS major, as an example of how you could still have a brilliant career through education, disability training and really hard work - and it was put off by arguments like "well if he had dropped out he might've been bill gates, instead of just running an RND department at IBM". I pointed out that the likelihood of severely dyslexic Danes with no education (his age), even having a job was very low statistically, but they would hear none of it, because "most billionaires were dropouts".It would've been nice to have this data back then.
