Currently there is an annoying tendency to assume that success as an entrepreneur is tied to dropping out of the conventional education stream and forging your own path.
The assumption is based off a few noteworthy successes – Richard Branson, Alan Sugar and university drop-out Bill Gates for example. But it avoids considering the massive amount of drop-outs that do not go on to achieve entrepreneurial dreams as well as the manifold successes of those that choose to running through the traditional educational path before going on to entrepreneurial success.
