In today’s corporate world, companies want to hire “stars.” So where do they find these stars? They recruit them from the best universities in the world. Here’s a philosophical analogy: they go to big rocks, unturn them, and hope to discover that star; but what about those small rocks? Well, one of the world’s top financial company, Goldman Sachs, did uncover that small rock and found a gem (a high school dropout) that forever changed the company’s history that survived the Great Depression and made it a success today. Here’s rest of the story from Investor’s Business Daily.

The moral of the story is that you don’t need a degree to become a star. It takes hard work, dedication, perseverance, and “street smarts.” :)
