Honorary degree? The things you get for free when you’re rich and famous.

hahah there but there’s only few exceptions and they always see a opportunity. They are the people who are in the right place at the right time and they can see that hence why they take the risk. Its not just blindly dropping college so I agree with the author stay in college and finish your degree. At least then you will have more options.

To learn something is like holding a precious black pearl. Learning is a gift, an opportunity. Good for him, to have a very successful life. But, I believe he’s not that wise, so he’s still learning and have to learn more things in his career. It’s just like everyone else, everyone should have finished tertiary studies. It’s a necessity in life itself.

Good points Terry.

I would also like to add that these successful dropouts are not comparable to most dropouts in my opinion. You would have to look at the reasons for dropping out not just the fact that they dropped out. Bill Gates dropping out is more like a smart employee who leaves and starts his own business. A regular college dropout is like an disgruntled employee who leaves for personal reasons.

I know a few dropouts and they aren’t going anywhere … at least monetary wise, perhaps spiritually :P

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard work on a landmark deal with IBM to build MS-DOS. If he didn’t drop out, he wouldn’t have been able to make Microsoft what it is today. It was a chance he took, and a amazing one I might add. I’m sure he would’ve finished school if this weren’t the case.

As far as lifelong college friends… he met current Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at Harvard.
