This is the worst kind of confirmation bias. Even worse, it's just wrong. Both of them were born into families with important connections and money. They're abnormally intelligent and had good educations before college. Most importantly, both of them benefitted from going to Harvard. They met exceptional people there, and those people were vital to their success. Gates and Ballmer met there, for example. Any dropout can certainly run the world, but the average person is far better positioned to succeed by going to college.
