<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1376031, member: 26302"]I agree with you about good credentials. However, I view credentials as not meaning just an education, but also experience. If a man creates a successful business and treats his employees and customers fairly, I really do not care if he graduated grade school or not. Education can be a shortcut to achieving "credentials", but if someone attended a university in the 80's I think its much more important what he has done in the last 20 years than the fact that he went to college. Also considering incarceration, I thought we were a nation of giving second chances? I have no problem giving someone who did something stupid when young a second chance. All of us were stupid when young. some just got unlucky and got caught doing something stupid.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are loads of people who never attended college and are very successful businessmen.
