Why should I of all people agree with that? I'm very well educated and find that I'm worth a lot more than those who aren't. Although I must admit that there are many who are less educated than I am, making a lot more money than me. In fact I've seen some really wealthy people who seem dumb as a bag of hammers, but they've got good financial people around them. They got a lucky break at some point, took the right risk, and it paid off. Then they were smart enough to know that they were too dumb to make that money grow so they hired someone else to do it.
