Some kids are good at football and go on to wealth. It is not, however, something on which one should be banking their future. I guess, however, the article might show people that there is hope if they pursue their dreams even if they haven't achieved a college degree.

They are some of the exceptions and the world has many exceptions. People who read these can also read special news about management graduates who start their career at 250000$.
