>I'm a college dropout and not even close to being on the list, so...once again...Larry Ellison's philosophy is flawed. Even if not true, this definately sounds like something he would say. I remember a joke, that pretty much identifies Ellison:

I am non-lettered as well. Personally, I blame it all on two people. J.D. Salinger and Jess Cassel. Salinger wrote in "Franny & Zooey" that Zooey felt that he didn't want a degree if "every elevator operator had one". (I think the quote is fairly accucrate). Jess Cassel was unletter, yet a member of the board of the Great Books Foundation of Encyclopedia Brittanica (circa 1965). He once told my senior class in high school that you either had to have all degrees or no degrees. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.< g >
