This phenomenon is a classic exemplar of street smart trumps book smart!

Interestingly, entrepreneur and 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' author Robert Kiyosaki has written a book, where he expanded his belief that the traditional school system was created to churn out 'employees' ... those 'A' students who read well, memorise well and test well ... and not the creative thinkers, visionaries and dreamers - entrepreneurs-in-the-making ... those 'C' students who grow up to be the innovators and creators of new ideas, businesses, applications and products.

The book is entitled, 'Why 'A' Students Work for 'C' Students and Why 'B' Students Work for the Government'!
