[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9670559, member: 4534"] Gary dropped out of high school his junior year and while he took a few college courses never got his degree. Gygax was an intelligent, well read individual, but he did not have much in the way of a formal education nor did he have any experience running a business generating millions in revenue. I'm quite impressed by what Gary was able to accomplish given his particular circumstances. In many ways it's the quintessential American dream. Gygax was down-on-his-luck, cobbling shoes to make ends meet for his family, and with just one good idea became fabulously wealthy. One of the things that struck me is how Gygax made mistakes that are very common for those of modest means who suddenly find themselves financially successful beyond their wildest expectations. Making sure everyone's friends and relatives have jobs is a trap a lot of suddenly wealthy people fall into. Just ask MC Hammer. [/QUOTE]
