The advice someone should consider when trying to determine if they should go to college or start a company is this.... take advantage of opportunities! Do you have an idea? Have you validated this idea in some form? Do you have access to funds? Do you have the skills necessary to execute the idea? If not, do you have access to people who can make up for your shortcomings? In other words, do you actually have an alternative opportunity to college. Life is long for most of us, be optimistic and bet on it being long for you too. Don't be in a rush. While the college degree itself does not hold the value that it once did, the experience of college for those who truly take advantage of it will find it to be an amazing period of self growth. College has true value for some, even if society does not know how validate its value on an individual basis. I went to college, I dropped out senior year, 8 years later I am working on my startup full time. My conditional blanket advice would be this, if you don't have a clear opportunity then go to school. It is that simple. If you spend half the time your friends' spend partying on your idea, you will have more than enough time to vet your dream as a true opportunity. After which you can justifiably quit college and start your company. Just because you start your undergrad does not mean you have to finish it. Like I mentioned, I don't have my degree because I personally don't value a degree. But I highly value my college experience.
