paper chase

Aquiring numerous credentials, usually college degrees, in order to procure employment at a company owned and run by a middle school dropout. Paper chasing is the safe alternative to entrepreneurial endeavors. The third alternative would be to settle for mediocrity, the most common path for a human life.

Michael Dell gave up the paper chase to start his own computer company. His vision made the pursuit of a college degree a waste of time. Ironically, most of the entry level positions at Dell require a college degree.
