seeking stories of unqualified successes

Billionaire and Virgin Airlines founder, Richard Branson, was a high-school drop out. Steve Jobs took a Calligraphy class in college…and then dropped out. Jimi Hendrix couldn’t read music. Rachel Ray never went to cooking school. Yours truly ran a Washington-DC think tank and without so much as a diploma.

I’m taking a poll: are you, or do you know of anyone who is “technically” unqualified but have managed to rock their career based sheer talent and moxy? Tell me here and now. I’ll be waxing philosophical about this on my Wednesday CBC TV segment on Connect With Mark Kelley.
