Deaths of Billionaires

Steve Jobs passed away last week - a billionaire, he was a college drop-out who followed his passion to make a fortunue and changed the world.

On Monday, Carl Lindner passed away - a billionaire, he was a high school drop-out who eventually founded United Dairy Farms, and his philanthropic passion help the lives of many in the Cincinnati area.

Now, consider the person entering college today.  There's no guarantee that they're going to find a job after graduation...yet there is one thing they will have - student loan debt.

Needless to say, my views on the value of formal education may be changing.

There's another billionaire that died this week - General Moammar Qadafi.  Interestingly, he did graduate.
