We look for a proven history of success. Some successful advisers have a high school education, but they have successfully owned and operated their own business; others have their master's degree.

A high school diploma shows that a student has completed coursework (successfully) in all discipline areas, ... The GED (general education diploma) is a test of knowledge that shows you have the knowledge and can pass a test. It doesn't necessarily show work ethic.

Our goal is to see Big History become a normal part of high school curricula. I'd love to see it being taught in lots of languages. A global course.

Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read.

It's something that's proven very successful to do.

My favorite subject was either English or History. I had a really awesome high school education.
