I can do better than that

I can show you 5 students who dropped out of in-person classes at Harvard University, University of Chicago, University of Texas, Reed College and yet became billionaires

Mark Zuckerberg
Bill Gates
Lawrence Ellison
Michael Dell
Steve Jobs

see ? in-person classes and connections and the ability to exchange ideas with professors and other students in person is highly overrated

moral of story: if our goal is to get rich and be successful we should all drop out
No, in this case they dropped out because they all got into tech and had to focus on their work.  They also got into tech at breakthrough points.

Bill Gates for example was already a bright mind who was hand picked to attend that selective college he dropped out from. Bill Gates wasn't out there trying to get Straighterline credits to eventually drop out of University of Phoenix and then go into a coding bootcamp, he was and still is a genius and his mind works at a very high level.

All of these people were. They would've been successful with or without college. We can't say the same for 99% of the population that lacks structure and the proper habits.

I spend $5,000-$10,000 per week doing Executive Education because I can. Big Grin   My peers in these EE programs are very successful. Some with no college at all.  I have only met one who was an Ivy grad.  They come from all walks of life.  
 
I'm not confusing anything. Maybe you are?

Also, wildly successful people don't take executive certificates or whatever that it is. That's for workers,  as a matter fact super rich people don't even have LinkedIN or care for it. 


It's Executive Education. 
 
OK, the Army and USCG Generals/Admirals and the U.S. Congressmen in my class are not wildly successful people.   The lady whose signature is on her Nations money in my small group either. 
 
It does NOT sound like you know anything about EE.  Have you been to any?
 
I will put my Net Worth against “the average” Ivy type any day. How about YOU?
 
Tyra Banks Harvard Business School alumni (EE Program) has more money than you and I combined.
