Education Does Not Guarantee Economic Achievement

Forbes reports:
Apple Computer billionaire Steve Jobs was an indifferent student at Reed College for a semester before dropping out, and his Silicon Valley compatriot Larry Ellison left the University of Illinois after his second year. Hollywood moguls Barry Diller and David Geffen dropped out of UCLA and the University of Texas, respectively, while Microsoft's Bill Gates and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg never completed their studies at Harvard.
