      It actually does. Education is needed to be successful, what you mean is Grades dont equal success (but they do help). All of the directors on this were already smart, most of the actors were educated in acting, or were related to actors.

      ***** I'm sorry, but what is the point of life if you're too scared to take risks? I'd rather drop out of school and pursue my acting career than having a shitty office job for the rest of my life. Most people complain about having a boring life and no money. They're dissapointed because they thought having a diploma would guarantee a good life.
      Even if someone fails when he or she drops out of school, at least he or she had the courage to really do something.

      Tyler Durden I agree with you, but graduating does not necessarily lead to having a boring life. I respect people who took risks in life to get a condition, but it doesn't mean they're better than the people who have graduated, and keep in mind sometimes it's the only chance those people had to make something out of their life, not everyone can afford drama or music lessons :) you can be perfectly happy with an office job, it all depends to the person. Problem is society told us we'll be rockstars, superstars or millionaires, that's why so many people feel dissapointed in life

    it's a shame how 'education' determines whether you are successful in life. both of my parents only have high school diplomas and have managed to live an awesome/successful life and raise two kids. Back in the day, you'd be able to get away with not getting a high school or a college diploma, but now, you're looked at much differently compared to a person who did graduate.

      True. It's really all about status today. Personally, I hated School. Sure I'm in University right now, I I seriously couldn't care less what anyone thinks of me. The degree to me is no different than the diploma I earned three years ago.

      @not-so-smartaleck8987 4 года назад

      It's not a "shame" at all. Much of the workforce is increasingly involved in jobs that require a greater amount of education to perform. Specialization (i.e., becoming really good at, or really smart about, a particular subject or task) is what drives the advancement of society, from the stone age through a primarily agriculture-based lifestyle (and economy) to a technology-driven existence (working in conjunction with the still-existing agriculture) that provides all sorts of advanced benefits, from modern medicine to better forms of housing to easier forms of transportation, etc.

      the easiest way to ensure that it happens is that you have schools. You also wouldnt have to cheat if u tried hard enough. Make notes in class and review them for the test. Shit is not hard or complicated, but you are being lazy.
      Western society has became as evolved as it is trough having a society that strives forwards together and school is something you could never replace in this system.

    As someone who is both 48 and Australian, I can tell you that not finishing high school was NOT considered an embarrassment outside the US when I was young. There were other avenues for advancement, including trade schools,apprenticeships, art school and starting as an office gopher and advancing up the ladder.,In those days,finishing Grade 12 was most frequently for those who wanted to go to university,which wasn't needed for a LOT of professions,even highly literate ones.. My dad left school at 14 to do a journalism cadetship.(He did get his BA(Hons) in his sixties!) My grandfather began his training as a student teacher at 14. My other granddad went into a carpentry apprentriceship and worked his way up to owning his own funeral home. Ita Buttrose, the most famous woman in Australian publishing, started work as a teagirl at 14 at her local paper. I very nearly left at 16 to go to art college, but changed my mind & did my BA as the culture was just starting to change. A friend of mine dropped out to go to secretarial college and runs her own business.I think it's a shame those avenues of alternative education are dying or often frowned upon. Not everyone is academically minded. A good electrician or plumber can earn a fortune & sometimes people just know what they want to do in life & for them those years in formal education are a waste of time. I wouldn't advise dropping out these days, as it does limit your choices, but I can tell you 30 yrs ago, it was a perfectly acceptable option to seek training or employment(or both!) elsewhere. It's a pity that really these days, you can't get a job in many fields like journalism or nursing without a piece of paper,when in days gone by, you learned on the job.

  • @Jared_Wignall
    @Jared_Wignall 9 лет назад +13

    Eminem? Not even an honorable mention? Here's why I feel he should be on the list in some capacity:
    After moving with his single parent mom, Marshall Mathers moved back and forth from Missouri and Michigan, they eventually settled in Detroit. There, they moved a lot, he changed schools and was constantly bullied for being the new kid as well as being a small white kid.
    At age 14, he was introduced to Hip-Hop by his Uncle and became obsessed with it. At age 17, Marshall dropped out of high school after repeating the 9th grade three times. He often competed in freestyle competitions to help break the barrier of being a white rapper. He also read the dictionary every night to improve his vocabulary and to tell which words rhymed with each other.
    He did various jobs to get money to make enough to make songs with his friends, and later took more jobs when his daughter was born in 1995. In 1996, he released his first album, Infinite, to poor sales. It was released in his hometown of Detroit, and the critics liked his lyrical content, but noted the production quality needed improving. He was also compared to AZ and Nas.
    After a failed suicide attempt due to unable to break into rap and support his baby daughter, he created an evil alter ego, named Slim Shady as apart of the rap group D12, a group he was apart of as it was composited by his best friend Proof and made a bigger impact in 1997 with The Slim Shady EP, thanks to the alter ego.
    In late 1997, Mathers was in the Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, to demonstrate his freestyle abilities over other local rappers. He placed second, to his disappointment, and one of his Slim Shady EP tapes landed into the hands of an Interscope staff member, who gave it to Jimmy Iovine, who gave it to Dr. Dre, who wanted to find Eminem. Eventually Dre and Em met, and began making music together and in February of 1999, The Slim Shady LP, his major label debut was released to rave reviews and was the years most successful rap album.
    Since then, all of his albums have gone platinum, two of which have gone diamond in later years, he has won multiple Grammys and was the first rapper to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song, for Lose Yourself from the film 8 Mile, a film that he starred in that is a semi-biography of the struggles Eminem had in the years before he became big.

      007Fusiion the point is that people say "if you don't go to a good college you will never amount to anything" and that is just false, most people live very happy lives without a college degree, and there are even some non-famous people that live happy fulfilling live without a high school diploma. "the 1%" has nothing to do with anything just because someone isn't famous doesn't mean they are nothing
