I am currently working on my own study to prove that Americans enjoy delicious foods, sex, and large televisions. Engadget will apparently post any study remotely linked to tech, so maybe I'll get it published!]]>Jan 17th 2008 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/Jan 17th 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/Jan 17th 2008 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/Jan 17th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/Jan 17th 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/study-finds-half-of-americans-want-to-be-bill-gates/
What most people will the pay most attention to:
[1] Drop out of college.
[2] Get arrested.
[3] Become the richest man in America.

a. You steal someone else's intellectual property.
b. You are rich beyond capacity because of that, and marry your PR agent, who is not hot.
c. Having created a profitable monopoly, decide to fail in every new venture outside of what you stole.

So everyone wants to be this guy. Green Day is right.

Seriously, though, Chebwa had a great comment up there. Who'd want to be a Bill/ionaire even if it meant sacrificing your youth?
