A recent study by the Centre for Policy Studies in London examined 1,000 self-made billionaires and found certain traits to be common among them. Some of the key characteristics are staying in school, choosing wisely and considering location, among others.

The majority of successful entrepreneurs are well-educated, so you may want to reconsider following Mark Zuckerberg’s footsteps when it comes to dropping out of college to pursue your dreams. Venture capital funding also increases along with higher education.
