Eight Technical Moguls without a Degree

In India, parents and most children give top priority to education. However, what the world of tech entrepreneurs has taught us is that one always need not have the best of education to become a millionaire. There have been numerous examples in the field of technology where geeks have managed to develop something new and taken the world by storm.
The best examples are Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg who never finished their education and dropped out of the best universities to start their companies to make not just Millions, but Billions of Dollars. Here are eight tech heads who are doing exceptionally well without a degree. Steve Jobs, dropping out at the age of 19, he made what Apple is today. Sadly cancer got the best of him, but then never stopped him to create the iPod and then the iPhone, till finally he gave up to the illness.

Bill Gates, the richest man in the world dropped out of college at the age of 20 and made Microsoft a leading PC and laptop OS brand. Michael Dell, left college at the age of 19 and worked his way to make a brand, which has supplied everything from Desktops to servers to the world. Evan Williams, left education when he was just 20 and worked hard to make billions of dollars, and a web social platform (Twitter) loved by all.

Travis Kalanick, Uber founder dropped out of college at the age of 21. Uber is not just a concept available in USA. Countries like India and Australia also have Uber. People do not call for a taxi or cab now; they call for an Uber and Travis. Larry Ellison shifted his focus from education to work when he was just 20. He successfully runs Oracle and also is as billionaire. Jan Koum dropped out of college at the age of 21 and founded Whatsapp. Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire dropped out of college at the age of 21 and made the biggest social network in the form of Facebook.
