But mum all my mates are going to university

It's warm in Penyffordd today. Some darts team have traveled from the other side of the country (Cumbria) to play darts at The Legion on Saturday and Sunday.

Is it have a drink, play darts, have another drink, play darts, go out to Chester. wake up Sunday with a thick head, play darts, eat hamburgers, play darts, have another drink, fall asleep on the coach on the way home? Work tomorrow.
Postscript. Go home bankrupt.

Chirk Carboot this morning remained dry. Didn't expect to buy any stuff to sell on the net came back with £200 worth. Such is the car boot sometimes a pleasant surprise. We once bought a couple of hundred books from a chap we call "the scouser" He had done a house clearance of this professor who was moving in with his girl friend. She said " you can get rid of all those books for a start" His loss our gain. We still sell his books each year, his chosen subject rare and complex. His name neatly printed in pencil in the top corner, a very clever man, but not too clever, women can cloud the mind.

and so to the title.............

The current fees charged for offspring to go to university are eyewatering.
I would prevaricate greatly on spending tuition fee sums involved on a dead cert business idea. Borrowing the money against the house even if the banks were lending would be a big no no.

Here's some big university failures. Bill Gates, Steve Balmer, ( Microsoft)  Mark Zuckerman, ( Facebook) Larry Ellison ( Oracle) , Michael Dell (Dell Computers) , Brin and Page (Google), Steve Jobs (Apple).

Nearly all billionaires

This is Steve Jobs' story.

  1. Fairly sure that Zuckerberg's success is in large part due to his attending university.

  2. I think you are right. So to most of the others. Our local man Simon Nixon of Moneysupermarket knew what he wanted to do but didn't have the programming skills. I think it was either his sister or girlfriend's brother who was persuaded to leave Uni and create the program that is now in folk lore.
