Dropping out and continuing on to be very successful is a sign that
1> you did not fit in with the college establishment or other students
and/or 2> you learn in a different way than others and were not benefiting from college
and/or 3> you had already obtained/saw the possibility of obtaining better opportunities in another way.
Does this fit all successful people? Is this sort of history distinctive to very successful people, or required of them? Of course not. Some very successful people have similar experiences, especially #2 - but going into the world without the college experience is not for everyone.
