Calling it dropping out is a bit misleading, because those entrepreneurs typically worked harder during their college years (and immediately after) than the people that didn't drop out. It would be more appropriate to say that they lifted off, and college served as their launchpad. Being successful is typically something that requires you to work harder than the people around you, so instead of framing it in terms of staying in college or dropping out, perhaps we should frame it as investing effort in obtaining degrees versus investing it in setting up businesses.
