ADDENDUM TO LAST POST

My father has a Phd and MBA. My mother a Masters. I did not finish Uni. I suffered from a long-term illness (alas, such is life).

Let me confess I admire educated people, including my parents. But entrepreneurship is surely a valid skill. If we cling dogmatically to degreeship, the following list of luminaries would be excluded from the workplace except for low-end jobs -

Thomas Edison
Sir Edward Elgar
Albert Einstein
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs
Michael Dell
Ralph Norris, CEO of Commonwealth Bank
Sir Winston Churchill
Paul Keating
Sir Richard Branson
Mark Zuckerberg ...

I can't think of more on the spot. Surely, this proves how pathetically daft that proposition is.. Again, what do you think???
