One would think that as an educated man—Yale Law School, University of Pennsylvania, Naval Officers’ Supply School—that I would be in favor of college education. Not so, says he. Look at Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and many others who never went to college or dropped out and were enormously successful. Of course, college is a necessity for certain occupations such as doctors. Abe Lincoln had no formal education, became a lawyer without going to law school, and we know the rest of that story. The main secret to education is the desire to learn. This can be done by reading or on the job training. In addition, education by parents at home can be far more valuable than formal education.
