Say if these people were power hungry, than they would consider a rich man/woman a good person(finacially). Since these people are superficial, they only care about the outside. Some other people are just happy to be with those that they love, and if that person is polite, and good hearted, than they are considered good people. It solely depends on the people around you.

It's not just about the money issue, and sometimes it's not even a factor. They're looked down on because it's assumed that they just gave up which obviously means they are stupid, lazy, and doomed to failure.
There are so many things you can do even if you don't graduate from highschool, and even still make you very successful. We're all just programed to think that education is everything and anyone who doesn't finish it are looked down on because they aren't smart enough.
I admit that it's the way I feel when I hear someone did that. It doesn't mean that I keep that opinion, but it is the very first thing I think of. I never insult them or act snobby but of course that's not the point. People need to get it out of their heads that you don't need to be educated to have common sense or depth, or that these people can't be successful and be financially healthy.

Obviously, to our culture money and the acquisition of material things is of utmost importance. The fact that rich and famous people are not looked up to for the things they have but rather their 'contributions to society' is a sign of our cultural (and cultural view) collapsing. Read any book by Daniel Quinn for more information on that last statement.
In all actuality, money doesn't matter that much, it is living one's life as an ethical person that counts. Money is great, but, really, humanity should matter more.

Ehh...
People work their whole lives to get things; with currency, that really won't matter. ((as we all, inevitably, die.))
As for money making someone a 'better person'? Well, if you're shallow..
(No, it doesn't.)
About high school drop outs? Dropping out doesn't mean you can't go ahead and get a higher education. x: Despite what people will try to make you believe.
If someone drops out and sponges off of everyone else, neglects work, and doesn't even consider any further education; they're a failure.
If someone were to, say, drop out and attempt to start at a local college? So they could have a better chance at getting a decent paying job? Hey, they're trying--and i'll respect them.
Friend of mine 'dropped out' at sixteen, two months ago. She starts at USF in a little over a week. If you're already far ahead of everyone else--why not drop out and seek education elsewhere?
Bah.
Forgive me, i'm tired and make almost no sense.
