While you have a few examples of drop outs (Zuck, gates, etc) the vast majority of those famous entrepreneur went to college.

Not a requirement, but increases your chances a lot.

Never mind the 99% (a guess here) of successful people that are not "entrepreneurs" but wealthy, successful.

Unless we are only talking about Bill Gates.

Why are we only talking about the small percentage of entrepreneurs that become famous? Most are not and never will be, nor is that a requirement for entrepreneur success. That bar is entirely irrelevant to any conversation about how to encourage entrepreneurship.
