High School Dropout To Become a Star?

According to this article, kids who want to be famous "slack off." If you've read any of the interviews I have done with budding stars, you'll see that they do anything but slack off.

In short, this article is discounting students who don't have a primary goal of attending college. A college degree is definitely an asset, however, there are many ways to foster one's talents and knowledge in addition to classroom learning. College used to be a choice, not a necessity. I think this article goes a little far in the way it looks at children's futures in a completely linear way. To all my aspiring stars out there: Keep living your dreams- that's why they call it "the road less traveled!"
