Well said. Some people with no college set out with passion and zeal and have whatever the X factor is to make them crazy kabillionaires. Some people with PhD's are working office slugs with no return on investment. I have worked with the latter.

Well said. I personally know of a multi-millionaire that's a high school drop out. He's cool guy to talk to as well, very approachable unlike these dick CEOs from big corporate america.

Education is a broad term. It has several different meanings, whether it be schooling, job experience, or just going for the gusto.

Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Micheal Dell, Walt Disney, Milton Hershey, all dropouts and all multi millionaires.

Multi millionaire/billionaire, what's it really matter at that point. They can wipe their butt with $100 bills regardless.
