Very interesting
Makes you wonder how much BETTER google could be if they dropped their policy of Uni qualified people only.
Truly arrogant in my view.
This list is wrong. Bill gates was a PhD student at Harvard, and Steve Jobs went to Reed College. They both dropped out before graduating. I didn’t check the others on the list, but I suspect many of them probably do have some degree of post-high school education, though probably didn’t graduate for whatever reason.
And, Google do employ people with no university degree. That is just one factor they use in their selection process.
