But I understood the message he was trying to convey when he explained that many successful entrepreneurs and corporate CEO's were poor students who simply lacked the interest or motivation to do well in school.

A person can go to an Ivy and have doors opened for him. He can go to Nowhere State and kick down the doors. Either way, once inside the person has to perform. Once a person is performing professionally, the college is only useful from a connections standpoint and applying to high profile grad schools.

A Harvard graduate friend of mine said his best friend from high school went to a nothing college in the mountains where he could ski, smoke pot and get by in school. At age thirty he woke up, got motivated and now makes more money than the Harvard grad.
