Whatever... the point is: school is for suckers in many ways. Or a better way of putting it: real ballers don't need school.

This goes back to my other thread about when I mentioned that college should be started later...you said it should start earlier because getting out of parents house/"real life", which I agree with...but I never said someone should live with their parents/not work until they went to college. I think anybody and everybody should move out/be completely on their own as soon as possible. Too many parents coddle the fuck out of their kids (most of us included if you lived at home or still "went home" when you weren't at college from 18-23ish) instead of getting them in the real world. Really, until you're 100% on your own, you really don't know shit about life.
I still think college should be started later though. Honestly, what percentage of us REALLY knows what we want to do with our lives that we would spend $40,000+ on for an education?
