I remember reading somewhere that something important to keep in mind is that Zuckerberg and Gates didn't really "drop out" as they could go back to college at any time if they wanted to. However once they succeeded there was no need. This was not a choice between "a degree and a shot at something" but "a degree, or either something that works, or a degree later".

dropout doesn't mean expelled. If people took a leave of absence, they can return. At most schools, it is allowed.

Yup, they "dropped out" not because they were failures but rather were too successful.
