Don’t forget George Washington, whose formal classroom education ended with the equivalent of grade school.

"Don't forget George Washington"

Also don't forget Rick Perry, Tim Pawlenty, and Paul Ryan.

Perry intended to go the Vet school, Pawlenty to dental school, and Ryan to Med school.

All three had problems in their science courses(Organic Chemistry probably), had to change their major, which led them into a career in politics.
