Keith Macphail also got a degree after his SAIT diploma.
You don't need post secondary education to make a good life for sure. But if you are aiming for the CEO, board member thing then it is pretty much a minimum.

Most definitely, I agree with your points.
But the truth is guys like Macphail and Swartout are a pretty special breed and would be successful because of their drive and desire, not because of any education per se.
again, its all about the individual person and the type of career they want to do - some careers require a University education while others do not - this distinction is probably the easiest way to start the decision process.
