(Not saying that higher-educated people don't have money problems; education can make you more aware of both good opportunities as well as potential risks.)
I know they did. I put a comma after mentioning each one's mistakes, then said that musicians such as Billy Joel had problems due to being unaware of what was going on.
I apologize if it read differently.

I caught it, that's why I didn't bring up Joel...I just don't like 'giving credit' to those who bring money problems on themselves.
Another good example: M.C. Hammer....LOL

I have to say that there have been some successful stars who went to college, while still staying in the public eye. The young woman from Wonder Years who is an Alpha Delta Pi, Danika McKellar (sp?) and Jerry O'Connell who is now back in school to get a law degree. 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.

On the flipside of that, I think it's WORSE that some kids get convinced that athletics or entertainment is their only out and they should 'use their talent' to make as much money as they can. While I don't exactly knock it, I think when kids are told that it's their way out (as well as the fast way) someone along the line forgets to let these kids know to be prepared for disappointment along the way and that their talent is still only a dime a dozen.
