The more of it I get, the less I do. And many of the most (financially) successful people in the world didn’t bother much with it: consider Bill Gates (#2 richest man in the world, college drop-out), Larry Ellison (#5, college dropout), Eike Batista (#8, college dropout), Li Ka-shing (#11 richest, high school dropout), Sheldon Adelson (#16, college dropout).

What do you think? Is formal education valuable? Is more education always better? Are there fields of study that you wouldn’t mind seeing abandoned?
