Education & Reference - 20 February 2007

I've always been told that I had to get a good education after high school so I can get a better job. I believe this, but then I look at Bill Gates, Karl Albrecht, Paul Allen, Lawrence Ellison, and Michael Dell to name a few, who are among forbes' top 20 richest people in the world, who dropped out of college, and I wonder, maybe I should do the same thing. These guys make me believe that I can be successful without college education. Maybe they were the lucky ones, but it still makes me wonder and question whether I should quit school now and just focus on a business of my own. I complete my BA in May '07 and I am applying for grad school for Fall. If I had a choice I wouldn't go, but I know if I do I'll get a better job. I'm just doing this out of obligation and out of the fact that I know in order to survive in today's employment world you have to have the education. I want answers from both sides: why is education important and why education is not important. Thank you.

I do very well academically, I have a high IQ. but, when it comes to studying history, I am terrible with names and dates. I can only seem to grasp concepts. This is a pass/fail grade on the history of the worlds civilization, a LOT of names and dates.

Any advice on study methods that will help me learn this?

I tried writing everything out myself, but it is taking forever!

I am a sophomore in college currently majoring in business management and marketing. I would like to go to somewhere that isn't too expensive and is safe. I would need the classes to be in English because my Spanish isn't so good. Right now I am considering Japan, Mexico, Spain, Germany, France, China, Hong Kong, and United Kingdom. Any thoughts or suggestions would greatly be appreciated!
