Originally posted by Spam ROFL, what hole are YOU living in? School isn't the 'answer' to ending poverty, it just helps (ok, a lot). The question is, are you willing to spend wisely and make that money work for you? For most people living in poverty, the answer is 'NO'. And it has nothing to do with the fact that they dropped out, and has everything to do with the fact that they're ignorant fools who are offended by advice, critisism, and the fact they might have to actually WORK HARD and SETTLE FOR LESS to earn a living.

"The Hole" = Scarborough.

You say.... "School isn't the 'answer' to ending poverty, it just helps (ok, a lot)". - - ok, alot????WTF?? are you seriously arguing this at that point?

And the comment that I made was that it ENDS THE CYCLE OF POVERTY, the point is, as you say series of bad choices. Of which "dropping out" is one, of many. By making an investment in your HIGHER education you are making an investment in yourself, thus ending the cycle...
