The World in a Nutshell
If you could shrink the world down to 100 people & keep the same ratios, there would be...

51 women and 49 men
58 Asians, 13 Europeans, 15 from the Americas, and 14 Africans
50% of the wealth in the hands of 6 people-all from the US
50 malnourished
80 living in substandard housing
70 illiterates
1 with a college education
Not one who owned a computer

Interesting that of those 6 people in the US that own 50% of the wealth only one of them at most has a college education.

That was my point to your post, a degree wasn't required.
