I've long advocated eschewing an education in favor of real world experience. But at the same time, I know I draw my self-worth from my education. I wouldn't be as confident a person as I am today if I wasn't educated. There's nothing stopping you from pursuing a business or even intellectual pursuits without an education, but ask yourself if you will feel truly fulfilled without an education? Moreover, you may miss out on the 'college phase' part of life (and what a glorious phase it is) and regret that later. Trust me, every single guy I know who started working early is jealous of college going kids who get to spend the best years of their life doing the best possible things on earth.
