                 Education does Count（excerpt）-Bill Gates
     Hundreds of students send me e-mail each year asking for advice about education. They want to
know what to study, or whether it’s OK to drop out of college since that’s what I did.
     My basic advice is simple and heartfelt. “Get the best education you can. Take advantage of high
school and college. Learn how to learn.”
     It’s true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft, but I was at Harvard for three years
before dropping out - and I’d love to have the time to go back. As I’ve said before, nobody should
drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifetime. And even then they
should reconsider.
     In my company’s early years, we had a bright part-time programmer who threatened to drop out
of high school to work full-time. We told him no.
    Quite a few of out people didn’t finish college, but we discourage dropping out.
     Having a diploma certainly helps somebody who is looking to us for a job.
     There’s not a perfect correlation between attitudes in high school and success in later life, of
course.But it’s a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects, to learn
to work with people in high school, and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college.
