College Dropout Bill Gates Says We Need More College Grads

Despite never finishing college, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is urging today’s students to graduate with a university degree, touting it as “a much surer path to success.”

It’s a message contrary to some other tech luminaries in recent years who’ve discouraged younger people from taking on unmanageable debt for a degree that may not prove worth its cost.

But Gates, who dropped out of college to start Microsoft, points out that by 2025 two-thirds of all jobs in the U.S. will require education beyond high school. At the rate the U.S. is currently producing college grads, the nation is looking at a shortfall of 11 million skilled workers to fill those rolls over the next 10 years, according to a study by Georgetown University.
