    Most of the most successful people never went to college. Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Simon Cowell…

        Employment doesnt necessarily mean “most successful” but education is obviously importer regardless if its self-directes or not.

        And i love me a distribution graph. Thank you.

      They either had rich parents with rich connections, or had incredibly loyal, highly skilled friends, like Jobs had Wozniak.

        I wondered that too, but then you have people like Whoopi Goldberg and Chris Rock on that list. And it’s not like Will Smith was that rich friend.

          Your also looking at a very specific field. Some fields require a degree and others require talent and a nonstop work ethic to just get out there and do it day after day and push through those hardships.
