[SIZE="3"]I completely agree. The Bill Gates and McCain analogy was totally out of context. When you get into undergraduate college, you'll realize the bullshit you have to go through just in order to look respectable and to get a job. Bill Gates created the software program even though he didn't even own the hardware for the software it was created for. In fact, they created an emulator of the hardware in order to test it out. Risking everything they went to the company men and presented their software and it worked. What a risk. And with that risk, Gates was given a position in the company along with his associate. He quit college because he already found work.
Real work experience > Degree.
What you have in a degree is a piece of paper. What you gain from real work is irreplaceable.
McCain went to college in order to look presentable and pursue law or rather politics. He was not a revolutionary like Gates. There is no justification for this comparison in any way or form. [/SIZE]
