Bill Gates is a good example - walked away from the arrogance of Harvard to actually do something. Edward Gibbon is another - went to Oxford for eighteen months, financed by a middle class merchant family, and in his own words found the dons so pompous he walked away to write a real history.

Formal college education is overrated, and would be especially so if it weren't around now to simply compensate for the abyss of the NEA public school system.

And of course there are the US Senators.
