Both. His degrees did nothing for him. Actually, after graduating from SFIT, he quit science for a year due to finding lectures and tests so intolerable in university that it gave him a buzz-kill. Mind you, he was only 16 - but he didn't need those diplomans considering he educated himself from the age of 15. If he educated himself without the internet, people in this day and age should be able to do so with the internet. Einstein was an exception because he was a genius, but with the resources we have on the internet - a 12 year old kid should be able to teach themself geometry just like Einstein did at that age without the internet.
