But the whole point of my post was what value is college and (1.) All things being equal, someone who's got a successful track record of running a business is a superior candidate to someone who does not, and (2.) In many cases some with that business track record will be a superior candidate period. The examples you're using are moot because obviously someone cannot legally practice medicine or law without sufficient training so, in those cases, point #1 applies. In other words, in those cases, you must assume both candidates meet the minimum legal requirements for a job. But in other cases that successful business experience may trump college. Maybe even in ALL of those other cases. Personally, and in general, I'd take someone who successfully ran their own business over someone with a college degree any day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
