Not sure how true that was. 30yrs ago, 1986, you had the real "Silicon Valley giants founded in garage" people. Mostly self-taught.

I think that is less common these days (Zuck being an exception, but he couldn't have started FB w/o being at Harvard at the time)
-
few people start giant tech companies. I'm thinking about your regular top tech majors

Right, but don't you think the less ability you have, the more your credentials matter vs ability/independent accomplishment?
-
sometimes even high ability people need certain credentials. Need an MD to be a doctor, etc. So, overall, no

The idea that MDs, JDs, etc need 7+ years of education and training is a distinctly American delusion
-
of course. But *we* can't do anything to change that
