    As in most things in life - learn by doing.

    My personal theory is that there are two types of people in the world - academics and do-ers.

    Academics are a waste of space, money and effort.
    Do-ers aren't.

    • er.. my scorn for academics only applies to real world business - I recognise the need for 'em, just not in work.detritus
    • doers do not invent
      academics do

    • Hmm. not really, drgs - but I get where you're coming from - hence my notage addendum.detritus
    • Many of the great thinkers and inventors over the centuries have been the bodgers and the fiddlers - creatives 'like us'detritus
    • ..but yeah - these days, if you're wanting to make gains in scitech, you need to have an academic environment.detritus
    • accademics are just work shy fopsmimeartist
    • if academics exist, and earn money - they are neededdrgs

    • no, not necessarily, you simply ran out of options. or lack creative entrepreneurship.vrmbr
    • most of the rich and really really rich people i know or met have done things themselvesvrmbr
    • not that life is all about getting rich though. learning can be of great value to your personal growth as well.vrmbr
    • No Janne I physically have to get a Masters to be considered for a VP job, haha.flavorful
    • Are there creative ways around it? Time. This is a short cut. Being rich is my main motivator.flavorful
    • ok. but you look from the employee perspective. that's ok.vrmbr
