I know a guy who didn’t go to school and has made a TON of money selling hot dogs at carnivals and fairgrounds! Seriously the guy works maybe 6 monhts a year….
I think that the majority of people who post/lurk here are more well educated. The one thing about that is that (especially in the engineering world) you tend to meet or associate with more people in those types of circles. Because of my wifes biz and my foray into real estate over the past 4 years I have met so many different people from different walks of life. The thing that amazes me the most is how many people have made ALOT of money through entrepeneurial ideas. Additionally how many of these people do not have advanced degrees also surprises me.
Also one of the best ASIC guys I have ever worked with in the past 20 years is an SDSU grad.
