it's like 30%. China has around 2 billion people, about 6-7 billion people in the world. Do the math.

People just coincidentally ignored you because you're stupid.

Only 74% of your "4th" University were satisfied?

Clearly not the more impressive "school".
You can boast all you want, once a cock, always a cock, and no school will ever change that...

The gloves are off and the swords are drawn... I await your 26% of an unsatisfactory comeback

I am unsatisfied, but at the end of the day, I don't particularly care as long as I come away with a good degree from a top university.

Life is what you make it, and if you are unsatisfied, it is your own doing. Education is not everything, many of the worlds richest people earned their wealth without an education and many of the happiest people are not rich.

.. or so I was told by a wise man of the east.

I know. I'm not unsatisfied at life, I'm unsatisfied at what the university provides (in fact, most people at my university feel the same way). I also know that education is not everything, but if you do well at it then you're giving yourself the best possible start in life. Clearly, many of the world's richest people may not have had a great education. I don't particularly want to be one of the world's richest people (that's not to say I don't want to be rich). Statistically speaking, however, if you get a good degree from a good university then you're much more likely to be earning a higher wage than someone who left school at 16.

That's almost 100% Peds but it also depends how your personality is.

Or you need to have a rich daddy.

Evryone has his/her own priorities. Follow your heart, and do the thing you want the most inside. Thèn you'll be satisfied for sure. Being rich says nothing. At the end of the day it's about the feeling you have about yourself and everything around you. And I know that for some people it helps to have a lot of money to succeed in this. Well, then so be it. But don't forget that you shouldn't take being rich as your goal at the end!

Money is sort of a catalyst to happiness. People who say money doesn't bring happiness is just stupid, it obviously does in the majority of cases.

The thing is that money doesnt instantly bring you happyness.
It can be helpfull in many ways yes. But you just need other things that make you happy besides money..
