He actually had less than a year of formal education. Fortunately his mom was a schoolteacher and home schooled him. He was a voracious reader and everything he needed or wanted to know was in books and magazines.

His take on college was like this quote from "Good Will Hunting"

“You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.”
