Today, my brother called me, asking if I could help him do his taxes. Since he's a high school and college dropout, I thought all I had to do was a 1040EZ. No, last year he made more than twice what I earn, through self-employment. I have two Master's degrees and work at Burger King. FML

Some people with good business minds just aren't good at school. To assume that someone who wasn't good at or interested in school is going to not be successful is kind of messed up. Some of the brighter people I know didn't bother with higher education. Instead they learned by doing. And at least in the two career fields I worked in, that meant a lot more then having a degree. As someone with a degree, it was kind of frustrating knowing my degree meant crap when going up for a job. They were more interested in my real world experience.

You probably have your degrees in Liberal Arts, in which case, you've reached the peak of your career.

What's a 1040EZ? Is it the same as a P60?

He might have gotten a GED. No guarantee that he did im just going with a logical assumption.

It goes to show that you don't need to "be smart" to be successful...
