9. Dvdon: graduate of a federal university with good grades, roamed the streets for years without job and later realized that he is on his own (oyo). He has since denounced his degree and now an entrepreneur. He wished he never wasted five years of his life in school, as that remains his greatest regret.

we mistake education for school.
you can be educated without going to school.
school is only one of numerous sources of education.

so, that you went to school doesn't guarantee you are educated.
and that you didn't go to school doesn't mean you are uneducated.

Your point is taken...but even then, there are still a lot of things you learn at school.

Schooling is different from education

Many software developers are not university graduates.

Going to university doesn't guarantee success.

Success = Preparation + Opportunity (and/or) Favor
