Steve Jobs' recent death brought attention to the fact that he was a college dropout, going against the belief that if you want to make the big dough you need to graduate college.
This article was from the Aug. 26, 2011, Chicago Tribune after his resignation from Apple.
They had a list and photos of Jobs and nine others who dropped out of college and did well:
STEVE JOBS-- co-founder of Apple Inc.
BILL GATES-- co-founder of Microsoft
MARK ZUCKERBERG-- founder of Facebook
LAWRENCE ELLISON-- founder of Oracle Corp.
MICHAEL DELL-- founder of Dell Inc.
DAVID GEFFEN-- founder of Geffen Records
RALPH LAUREN-- founder of Polo Ralph Lauren
JOHN GLENN-- first American to orbit earth, US Senator
ROBERT FROST-- won four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT-- architect
After looking at the first five, my graduating college probably is why I haven't ever made all those millions in the tech world.
