Yes and no. It really depends on the person. If you have an authentic desire to learn, then you will regardless of whether or not you go to school. Getting a degree does open a lot of doors for you, but that doesn't make it a requirement to become successful. If you don't go because you simply don't want to put forth the effort or aren't smart enough...well... good luck becoming successful. The most successful people I know juggled businesses or similar activities while going to college and a lot of them dropped out to pursue their ambitions because school was too easy. Personally, I took hard classes, but they weren't that hard for me. I hated English but loved conceptual math and still do.

I'd like to learn more about data analysis. Does anyone know of any great books on the subject?
