i absolutely hate and detest the way that he talks about his associate dropping out of college. he says something like "he dropped out of college but he was ok, just graduated late." he says this as if not graduating from college is like getting some kind of terrible disease. i was having a family dinner with a bunch of extended family one time and i jokingly told them i was going to drop out and go into the trades. they all recoiled in horror, literally making that gasping sound you hear in movies. "certainly not!" there should be absolutely no shame or indignity in not being able to or wanting to finish a college degree. it shouldnt be a status symbol.
