About the numerical argument, that's not a good argument. The fact that 92,5% of the people on the Forbes 30 Under 30 for Tech list did not drop out is meaningless by itself. Why? Imagine that 92,5% of all population had degrees. Or even better: that 99% of all population had degrees. It'd be more meaningful if you added the percentage of the population with degrees, the % of people without degrees who created failed startups... But, anyways, I don't think that having/not having a degree is a fundamental factor in the success of your startup. Maybe you're already good enough to go forward. Maybe your idea is so great it compensates your lack of technical knowledge. Frankly, I think that dropping college to do a startup is neither a good or bad idea. It depends on you, your circumstances and the startup itself.
