Creativity is all that matters, I saw a 16 years old billionaire who made this much by creating a AI machine, and we have other good examples like richest men around the world, majority of them are all dropped out.
Some don't even have any degrees, but truth need to be told, we all can't be Elon Musk and others, there will be problem if every one thinks like this because they will believe that education won't get them anywhere.
Whereas education and degrees will serve some people right, that they won't ever dream of becoming like Elon and others, meaning we can't all walk the same path and get the same result, so I believe that school and skills are both not bad at all, better get exposed to both.
The likes of Steve jobs, dropped out of school to go for his innovative skills, and it paid off really huge. Thing is, anybody with an instinct and listens to it, would make something out of their dream. Education is great, and fine, even the Jews are the richest because of their combination of School and skill. The both helps to catapult young people into doing the extraordinary. Despite the fact that not everyone can be conversent at doing great in the two, yet building a skill that's on demand saves not just the acquisser but humanity as well.
