TIL Google has found GPA's and test scores to be "worthless as a criteria for hiring"; they have teams where 14% of their employees haven't gone to college

Can confirm, I got my start accidentally by walking into a classroom in high school and getting mistaken for the teacher. I let it play out for a while and then some trouble at home forced me to move out on my own, gaining XP. I had some of my dad's checks still and started forging to make ends meet. It was tough for a while and my parents were being so unrealistic and selfish.

It was one day I saw an airline pilot walking in his suit and figured, if I could pass off as a teacher, what's stopping me from being deal a pilot? I had so much XP by then it was a seamless transition.

It took some time but I was basically living the dream. Pilot, luxury suites, women, maybe some drugs but I'm not no denzel washington. Eventually one day an FBI agent caught up to me in one of my suites after all this sweet action and although he had more XP than me, I managed to escape somehow. By then I had like $3 billion dollars and just had to find out what to do with it. I was madly in love with this girl who then tried to set me up in the airport. I had to make a move to Europe to avoid going to jail.

Once in Europe, I gained so much XP by that point it was a joke. I was invincible. I started my own money printing press and forging operation. It was mind blowing.

Surprise, that FBI agent showed up Christmas Eve. I was waiting to give Saint Nick a huge bag of money to go around the world but was stopped dead in my tracks. On the way back to the US, I found out my dad died. I needed to escape, and because of all of my XP it allowed me to do that because I was now slippery. I went to visit my family and they gave me up, after all they put me through.

I then got 12 years in prison but let out to assist the FBI in 5 years. I was a consultant to the FBI and a criminal because of all of the XP that I had built up by then. I didn't need any help or anything.

TL;DR You don't need an education, just get lots of XP and you'll be able to do anything want.
