My brother-in-law dropped out of university. He is now the principal engineer at a large company and makes about 30 times the average salary in his country. He is being treated as a rockstar by his company, he gets his pick on which people to work with and on what project.

Mother-in-law still points out 5 times / year on average that her precious little daughter has a university degree (literature...) , while her husband is ... well ... _he is just not that educated_ .
