To be fair, you should do the exercice, write down the names and check if they had a formal education. You will probably find out that they all do.

The common figures (google/facebook for examples) are typical college graduates from a very top school, who happened to drop in the last year of bachelor or master to found a company, sponsored by their university network and connections.

By the way I was talking having having a formal education versus no formal education and you're trying to move the conversation to dropouts. Dropping in the last year of a top US school (because you were given half a million dollar to form a company) qualifies as having a formal education.

So 3.5 years meets your standard. Good to know.

What about three years?

Two?

One?

We know zero higher education doesn't meet your standard, and 3.5 years does, so I'm trying to figure out where you draw the line.
