'Is dropping out of a CS degree from a good college saying "I also want startup thrill" a good idea? Or a stupid idea?' Instead of dropping out, you could simply take some time off from college. Pursue an idea or a skill for the duration of a semester instead of spending time in the classroom; you can go back to college at the end of your sabbatical. You may want to check with your college if you have to notify them of your temporary absence so they don't think you dropped out entirely (never done this before so just playing it safe). I wish I had done this. I would have taken sabbatical after my second or third year to build up skills that I enjoyed. It would have also helped for applying to internships or full-time jobs that require some level of experience. In addition, I would have used that time to work on other life skills like fitness. As others have said, complete the degree to play it safe.
