Claire Danes went to school, as well as, Natalie Portman. I think it is incredible to be so successful and still choose to go to college. It is too bad that we push college on kids, not for the educational aspect of learning but, more for the money aspect. The message should be that you should go to college to LEARN and not necessarily make money.

Yep, Danica McKellar was on NCIS last night.

Oh...Thank you! I knew I was spelling it wrong! See, she even has a Ph.D. in Science, as far as I know. Once again, please don't quote me on this one because I'm not 100% sure. Maybe one of the ladies from ADPi can answer that one.

I think she's a Mathematician.
Amen, ree-Xi. 
ETA: I hear ya, DaemonSeid. Sports and music aren't the only ways to make money, neither are they immediate ways to make money. What parents need to teach kids is that there are no quick fixes or easy money. What's important is to make the investment in your future, which includes some type of secondary education (not necessarily a traditional college or university) and building a skillset. People can take your job and even your career but they can't take what you have learned.
