The thing I like most about this post is that he doesn't know what percentage of their portfolio founders have degrees. That must be because they didn't ask, or checked on it while they were doing the funding, but don't really care anymore, and that tells you that he's serious.

But I'd argue that college isn't about learning a trade, it's about getting more out of living life... and being part of your culture. So once the business is old enough to spare a few hours a day, college is a great idea.
I learned today that physicist Harold Fletcher (Bell Labs) helped get stereo recording off the ground back in the early 30s (with Stokowski; they made over a hundred recordings ... on dual-tracked vinyl). Harold wasn't a narrow formalist; he understood that a rich culture is one worth preserving.
