Plenty of successful start ups from drop outs, also.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The media glamorizes the successful drop-outs. Steve Jobs didn't need no stinkin' degree -- why do you? But consider the odds. What % of MIT grads develop successful businesses (and not just "start-ups", a phrase which seems to give credit for winning just by starting the race)? And what % of drop-outs do the same? And how many orders of magnitude separate those two figures?
