The lack of a college degree really slowed down Bill Gates and Paul Allen at Microsoft.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen built Microsoft without a college degree.

On the other hand, Microsoft was run into the ground by Steve Ballmer, who did have a college degree.

Here is a couple of youtube videos.

The first is one with Ballmer ridiculing the Apple iPhone which forever puts him up in the history of missed opportunities right up there with the 5th Beatle.

And his expression of his love for developers at a Microsoft annual meeting which can most charitably be described as “frenetic”

Yeah, if you don't graduate from college, how can you accomplish anything.

BTW, Steve Jobs did not finish college either
