By the same token, a degree isn't going to help someone who wouldn't have done well in business anyway. There is nothing you can do to prepare yourself for success, so stop worrying and just do what feels right for you.
- sliverstorm 15y agoCertainly. Only, college is not an opportunity that comes knocking many times, so I would not have students casually discard it on a pop-fad of "dropout = success". Much better that they should have concrete personal conviction on the matter.
- jackgavigan 15y agoThe kyey point in that blog post is in the final two sentences: "Dropping out isn’t an accomplishment, any more than money is a sign of achievement. Sometimes, but not always, it’s simply a symptom of success." Dropping out of college doesn't mean that your startup will be successful, just as having an MBA doesn't guarantee success in business. (FYI, I'm both a university drop-out AND an MBA.)
