Once upon a time, if you wanted to be a sucessful business person, you took a few business courses in high school, and after graduating, you could get a general business degree. It was a degree, but it really couldn’t completely prepare you to launch a successful startup right out of college. It was not mandatory, though, and in fact, many successful entrepreneurs never received their college degrees. Some rich and famous people who opted out of college include producer, Simon Cowell; fashion designer, Ralph Lauren and Whole Foods founder, John Mackey.
