So happens that many (more than 2-3) of the millionare engineers I mentioned never went to college.

Why is it the parents’ responsibility to put their kids through college? If your parents paid for your college, you do not have the right to refer to yourself as self made, millionaire or otherwise.

My parents lived in Canada, the one that is no longer here died from cancer after waiting 5 months for an operating room to open up. They were only stage 2 when they received the diagnosis. I would have broken the bank to get them care in the states if I was working then.

Funny how things are so free to the point that they become worthless when you actually need them.

What a ridiculous website. Never thought I’d see a front page with more clickbait than BuzzFeed. Out of all the stories of perseverance you could find, why did you link 4 articles from this website? Are you trying to help them with SEO?

None of the articles are sourced and it even looks like they’re taking videos from other news publications like ABC and playing their own 15 second ads over them.

You know 2-3 millionaires, that’s cute. Half the senior engineers in my unremarkable US-based startup are millionaires.

Well I went to Berkeley, it’s questionable why we’re even ranked in the top 25 with an acceptance rate 30-40% higher than UCLA or USC this year whom like you said, don’t deserve to be in the top 20. Imagine what it would be without EECS. Berkeley grads need to pay attention to what’s happening with the school, it may be the only college in Californi where applications have been going down for the past 3-4 years.

I went to Berkeley, it’s a far better public school than Washington or Oregon, who appear to be oddly insecure of their schools’ >40% acceptance rates. Surely our graduates would never make discriminatory hiring decisions that may deprive their company of talent.

If you aren’t familiar with the US education system, it’s a school ranked in the top 20 with an 11% acceptance rate, only twice as high as Stanford’s with a body 4x as large. It's a large school with a massively beneficial and incestuous network. Based on LinkedIn numbers, 1 out of 4 people in SV that didn't graduate from Stanford went to USC. Go around talking misinformation about that school in particular and see what wonders it does for your career.
