There is also the advantage of being educated in general...I know that there are persons who consider people who value education in general as "elitist", however, having a general population that is well educated reduces the gullibility quotient involved in daily decisions.

education is great, but the type of education you need to become mega wealthy isn't in any schools. Robert Kiyosaki states that school of any kind teaches you how to be a good employee, not a good investor, which is required to be rich. does your banker ask for your report card, no.

yup, bill gates never finished college......he has an honorary degree

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to build up Micro$oft. I wouldn't really count him among this crowd, even though he techinically never finished his degree.

business even though they didnt graduate from high school go to college or university? i hear people say college and uni is overrated ?

Pete Grymkowski was a high school dropout and became VERY rich through Gold’s Gym. Drew Kaplan (who I’ve met) started his business (DAK mail order catalogue and later DAK.com)while in high school, put himself through UCLA and became very successful in the process. Jay Abraham who I worked for, never went to college and has been a very successful and wealthy consultant. Tony Robbins never went to college.   
and keep moving!

If their ideas go bust after 20yrs they have nothing to fall back on. Get your fuckin degrees otherwise you may end up in big shit one day. Trust me on this, you need something to fall back on. Otherwise you need to go back to uni in your 30s or 40s  :-X
Yeah because employers give a fuck where a 45 year old went to school, not what he's been doing for the past 20 years ::)
