Blogging BookmarksBy Brandon Cox | 2 Comments
One of the most inspiring people in my life was my grandfather who, for his time, was quite a successful entrepreneur against very tough odds. I had the chance to write about him and the lessons I learned from him over at Ben Lang’s blog and wanted to pass the link on to my readers here. Don’t forget that most good bloggers have a pioneering, entrepreneurial spirit which explains all the talk of “bootstrapping!”

Your grandfather was a very special man, and his eighth grade education served him well. Remember, Shakespeare only had an eighth grade education.
And, with 70% of the kids in the US now going on to college, and with the lowering of standards throughout the country for the bachelors degree, employers are not valuing the degree much anymore.
So, who is the smart one now?
Your grandfather who started a successful business, or the college graduate with $17,000 in student loans, no job, and the skills learned at college:
-how to read football statistics
-the names of a few foreign beers.

Haha, good point Beth, though I’d still push my kids to get all the education they can, I’d also push them to get the education most appropriate for how they’re shaped for life.
