I have to say, the richest people i know have the fewest qualifications. the couple who own the farm where my horse is (and incidentally, that place where i spend all my free time and got married) both left school with nothing at all. they lived in a caravan with a chemical toilet for two years, saved, went to america and worked in whatever they could. they made their first million before they were 30, they now run 9 businesses.
