TOP TEN BILLIONAIRES THAT WENT TO SCHOOL
This is my reply to Top 10 Billionaires That Dropped Out Of School by spywareczar.
People often get the misconception that MOST billionaires did not go to school or maybe dropped-out of college. Well, this is largely false as only 18% of the 234 US billionaires today dropped out from college or didn't go to college at all.
What i am trying to say is that formal education is very important and should not be "berated".
