Sorry if thse question were already asked, I didn't notice them.
What's your educational background and how important has formal schooling been in who you are and how you run your business.

I'm 42. I don't admit to having parents or children. There's some things that are just not chat board fodder. However, any children of mine would not be allowed to work in this biz. While I think its a perfect biz for me, I would hope to produce lawyers, doctors, and indian chiefs.
As far as education, I graduated highschool but did not go to college. I scored a 1210 on my SATs which wasn't a bad score back then. I had an offer from a college football coach to come play for them but they were too hoity toity to give out athletic scholarships. I applied to my girlfriend's college fully expecting to get in. They never got my transcripts and therefore turned me down. I got a job planning on going to school the following sememster and it just never happened.
I did used to write term papers for one of my girl friends but that was as close as I got.
Besides my stint as a young hot bartender and my apprentice years in construction, I've never worked for anyone. I've always been an entreprenuer.
I *do* however think education is important which is one of the main reasons I wanted a library in my home. While I do have a couple of shelves of light reading, most of my library consists of history and other important writings.
