Taking Education Into Your Own Hands

  • Although Elon musk obtained not one but two degrees he is not someone who credits his college education to his success. In fact, he feels just the opposite. He has been very vocal about his criticisms of the modern education system.
  • Musk attended the University of Pennsylvania and received his bachelor's degree in both economics and physics;Β he intended to obtain his Ph.D. from Stanford but left soon after to co-found the web software company Zip2 along with his brother.
  • He decided to take his education into his own hands turning instead to textbooks and individuals with specialized knowledge.
