Programming and business managament are two different fields. You can't compare them. I agree, you can't become a good chemist without proper education, the same goes for particle physics. Business is not a hard science, it's a set of skills you have to develop such as: perseverance, creativity, people-skills and confidence. You can't learn it in any school, even the top-ones. You can be a great actor, amazing cook, great musician or artist without having any degrees. Running a business is similar - it can't be simply in schools because it's not a hard science. You get the experience from running your own company, look: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison They don't seem to have any degrees and there are thousands of CEO's just like them who didn't get higher education yet built something amazing.
