Street-smart success stories
If you were pressed to name the two most popular billionaire executives in technology, it would be hard to beat Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Gates became the country's wealthiest person by guiding Microsoft to its mastery of operating system software, while Jobs co-founded Apple Computer before staging a prodigal return to guide his company's spectacular turnaround. Sharp cookies? Absolutely. Yet both dropped out of college.
Others didn't even get that far. VirginAtlantic Airways chieftain and "rebel billionaire" Richard Branson didn't even make it through high school, while Wendy's founder Dave Thomas also cut his education short by immersing himself in various restaurant jobs when he was just 12 years old.
Ray Kroc, who turned a popular fast-food chain run by two brothers into the McDonald's empire that today reigns as the world's largest restaurant chain, also dropped out of high school. With Kroc and Thomas achieving such great heights in fast food with limited schooling, perhaps it shouldn't have come as much of a surprise to see the street smarts team win Trump's first challenge of the season when it took to marketing new sandwiches for Burger King.
Amazing aite?
