Inventors, some of the most important things we use today were made by people who never got a college degree (and in some cases not even a high school one). Can't say the same for most business people or physicists.

Can't say the same in which regard? Education? Because the study of physics generally necessitates higher education these days. Business doesn't necessarily require it, but it gives you an edge the same as it does inventors. And, in general, a lot of the inventors who never got a degree often did so before higher education was readily accessible. However, you have tons of inventors who were college educated.

If you're talking about the things we use today, half the reason we have those things is because of businessmen. The availability of goods and services within a society is largely dependent on commercial enterprise which falls into the realm of business. You need a manufacturer to make the items, a wholesale distributor to buy them, and then a retailer to carry them -- assuming that the retailer doesn't function as an all-in-one, such as in the case of Apple. (And, depending on the product, physics might be involved.)
