I dropped out too, and while I was perhaps reassured by the fact that successful people had been able to make it without college, really I just fucking hated sitting in school all day.
There are plenty of reasons to drop out beyond "wanting to be Zuckerberg." How about "not wanting $100,000 of debt?" or "Prefering to be paid for my work?"
College just isn't for some people. It's not a bad thing or a good thing. It's just a thing.
- fernandotakai 12y agodisclosure: i'm not american i dropped out because i started college when i was 22. i was already working as a developer for 4 years. when i got to college, it was more of the same and i was basically learning a lot of things that i already knew -- so for me, it was better to focus on working than working + going to college. it worked quite well in my case.
