Particularly when almost none of them had the wherewithal to drop out.
Every time a VC says - drop out of school - study math / CS - start your own company - take funding know that they are talking their own book. It may be sincere. It may be sound advice. But one thing that studying history taught this liberal arts major is to always examine bias.

Sure. It’s not just about wherewithal though. It’s also a MASSIVE privilege to have the security to be able to drop out of college and no one talks about this.

What if the VC did all of those things herself or himself?

That’s selection bias. Also doesn’t change the incentives at play.

Especially when their success story is an example of of survivorship bias

Correct ! And probably more can be learnt (on what not to do) from those who did not survive, than can be learnt (on what to do) from those who did survive.

Why ever spend time on university (except joining the community)? It’s a loan burden and waste of time. I’ve never asked new team members for a diploma as a CEO/Founder since 2007. IMO the best way is to spend 1 year, add an Ivy line in a CV, get connected and drop out

As a first-year student at university in England, an alternate route into a well-paid, professional career seems impossible. Almost all jobs require a degree upon application - even the majority of unpaid work experience. It makes it very difficult and frustrating at times.
