didn't have ability? The looters run this place man.
2. What in a free market would prohibit a company from wanting some sort of
assurances that you have a certain basic knowledge? That's what a degree is
for.
3. The best/worst thing is not true in a free market. You can still get
lucky, know someone, or just work hard as hell doing a menial job which
requires little knowledge.
4. We do not live in an ideal free market economy.

Tim, why not take Ayn Rand seriously and test your abilities in the true
free market system? In the Free Market, the best are the ones who make the
most and the worst are the ones who make the least. A "degree" means nothing
in the true Free Market, so why limit yourself?
