Entrepreneurs and University.


You don't learn entrepreneurship at University
So runs one of the AMP questions. The debate has recently been highlighted in the Daily Express as A level results were published this week ( Daily Express, 17th August 2010 )
Among those mentioned in the article :
Sir Richard Branson, now worth 30bn he left school at 15.
Peter Jones ( Dragon's Den star ) - left school after A levels in order to start making money. He had several failures before making his millions, and counts 'learning from his mistakes' the best kind of education.
Michelle Mone ( Lingerie entrepreneur ) She founded Ultimo after leaving school at 15. She claims that her poor background discouraged her from seeking higher education, and that working at an early age taught her alot.
And of course Sir Alan Sugar....
The question is....which successful businessmen / women did go to Uni ?
