I am constantly applying to interesting jobs and if I come across a good enough offer I'd be happy to leave school. Good enough has a very bar though, and I haven't found anything worth leaving school. That said, I've come across many offers that are more than enough to make a living. I also wouldn't say that my approach is doing "the requisite amount of work to pass." Classes inherently have a lot of fluff, a lot of which doesn't really teach you anything. Take my software design class, for example. There were a few core concepts they pushed heavily and I learned those well, but I already knew the small implementation and GUI details. I could have spent the time building those out and getting the A, but I'd much rather take the time to apply those details to my startup. It turns out that learning what I felt I needed to learn earned me a B in Software. It's different for every class, but I think it's possible to both pursue a startup and get your money's worth out of school. Unfortunately, it's often your grades that take the hit.
