In a recent interview on New York radio, Power 105.1FM, music mogul, Irv Gotti said college promotes you to be a worker bee. In essence, he is saying that going to college makes you have the mentality of a worker and not that of a boss.
This was part of the discussion during his sit down with The Breakfast Club crew (DJ Envy, and Angela Yee). Ja Rule was also there, and as DJ Envy and Irv Gotti downplayed the importance of college in life, Ja Rule felt it was very important for young people to go to college, graduate and then pursue whatever dreams they had.
Below is what Irv Gotti had to say about college...
"I'm going to say something that again may ruffle some feathers. But college usually promotes you to be a worker bee. Cos what do you say to someone after they finish their four years of college? Get a job. So it promotes you to go to college and be a worker."
I get his point though, but right after he said this, Ja Rule chipped in and said, "For kids without passion." I am riding with Ja Rule on this one. I went to college, but my passion to be a writer/entrepreneur was too big to be crushed by the 'worker bee' mentality people get instilled in them in college. So, I guess Ja Rule and Irv Gotti are both right to some degree on their beliefs.
