I see no reason you should be comparing Bitcoin legendary to first class graduate in the first place, there are those who believe in going out there to expand their knowledge and not all for the money, you should keep in mind things that are permanent and those that things that are temporary.

And they are those who doesn't see the value in school rather they believe that with hard and consistency in their hand skills or businesses they are into, they can progress.

You just have to find your specialty and go after it, I have come across an accountant with a first class degree working for a business man that has just his O'level, but the business man is progressing and also there are educated people in their various offices making their cool cash. This life is full of ups and downs
