Throughout history self-educated men and women from all walks of life and social stations have risen to the occasion of the challenges facing them.

But the idea that the only learning respectable enough for economic compensation comes from institutions, which treat it as a scarce resource, is patently absurd. The people named in the following list demonstrate this beyond doubt.
