It is no coincidence that history is filled to the brim with examples of brilliant thinkers who weren't too good at formal schooling. Albert Einstein was labeled a dunce by his teachers. Inventor and businessman Thomas Edison only had three weeks of schooling under his belt before he was withdrawn from primary school by his mother and educated at home. Besides the prominent examples of self-taught successes, like Benjamin Franklin, Walter Cronkite, Abraham Lincoln, or Steve Jobs, there are millions of people pursuing their intellectual passions every day - and without stepping foot on a college campus.
