The notion that we (entrepreneurs) don't value a fine education is actually true in a small sense. "We" value being creative through our business start ups and innovative ideas. Much like an independent artist we'd rather not wait for an institution like college, which in all respect is a huge corporation nowadays. -Junior at CSUF A true entrepreneur is taking risks when the doubts are as high as the potential rewards.

It sounds like you viewed college as a place to meet smart, interesting people and make useful connections, rather than the more traditional place to learn something by taking interesting classes or courses of study. This perhaps is the sign of a true entrepreneur... a person who makes his own opportunities, rather than waiting for them to be given to him. While I might believe that getting more than "passing" grades might have broadened one's educational and cultural horizons (as they say), I cannot quibble with the education which your version of college has provided you. Many roads can lead to success. An entrepreneur figures out what roads might be useful; designs and builds a bunch of them; travels the ones that work best until they dont; finds others to help in the process; writes interesting blogs along the way; and has a blast doing it. Damn fine education. interesting view of college responsibilities… go to “some” classes, get “passing grades.” It sounds like you viewed college as a place to meet smart, interesting people and make useful connections, rather than the more traditional place to learn something by taking interesting classes or courses of study.
