Right, I can't disagree with you there. He decided to carve his own path, why don't most people do that?

No, but he did go to Harvard and met all his business partners there. A good school is as useful for the contacts as the coursework. Also, he got a 1590 on the SAT and started his own company instead of looking for a job, so he's definitely wasn't in the same track most other people in the world are.
College isn't the only way to go, but it does have many advantages.
