Mark Twain had a million clever little sayings; one of them that I've grown to appreciate... "I've Never Let School Interfere With My Education."
Especially in web technology, you frequently can't find the answers that you need in school. I asked a number of professors when I was in college an impossible short answer question, "how do I succeed in business online." I got a myriad of answers, but the best one was "If I knew that I wouldn't be here right now, would I?" The truth is, when you're able to find a thousand more useful answers with a 2 second Google search, self-education is easier than ever... what you really need is some ambition to get it done.
I came across this short blurb from the national CEO network, that seems to think experience and problem solving are the real keys to success. I say add your own continuing self-education, some cash to float on, and you've got a real recipe to succeed in a new business or venture- so go for it!
