How important do you think is formal college education in the life of an entrepreneur?

  I think a liberal arts education is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give their child (thanks, Mom & Dad!). That said, there's clearly plenty of people who are able to succeed without formal schooling. And, for that matter, there's plenty of people who got the fancy degree and didn't expand their minds at all while they were there. I think the more important thing is to become deeply curious and well educated about how the world works. I don't see how to do that without a grounding in history, philosophy, psychology, literature, etc. but there are many ways to get that grounding besides formal schooling.
