1. Lil Wayne Kanye West Many other performers Many stock brokers I think it isn't exactly necessary, but if you look at the odds, having an education is a much better bet than trying to be successful without one.
2. Sometimes it really is "who you know" and skills you do have
3. its what YOU make out of your life. so its all a matter on what YOUR goals are and what you want to achive in life. you can do anything, and i belive the things that are viewed as "achieving great things" are things you dont have to go to school for, they are things that come from the heart.
4. Well, what do you mean by "great things?" Being famous, rich....? The chances of you becoming successful in life dramatically decrease if you don't go to college. For the most part, you must go to college to get anywhere in life.
5. I think the most important aspects to being successful in life are personal ambition and perseverance. But people who have a lot of drive, determination and perseverance generally DO go on to college. They recognize that it encourages you to set your sights higher, puts you in contact with other people who are likely to be successful, provides you with an education that will help you in your career, and gives you that college degree that other successful people recognize as a mark of accomplishment.
