how would having more education not make you smater? i think those who have gone and completed a degree are on average smarter than those who did not. just on the basis that you have to get into college and they usually don't accept morons. that being said i do not think that one has to go to college to do well in life and that college is becoming less and less required. trade school dosen't get the respect it deserves.
Colleges accept morons look at most state schools. I can't even begin to tell you how many I've seen come through. Some make it and some don't the one's that do only have a bigger ego than the one's that don't. Funny thing is they still end up running the streets. Like the saying goes you can take the homie from the streets but you can't take the streets outta a homie.
