The Thiel Fellowship gives $100k to 25 kids a year to drop out of college and start a company. This morning a Thiel Fellowshow recipient (now 25 years old) just sold a self-driving car startup he started with his $100k for $3.4 billion at age 18. Hell yeah.

How many people drop out of college in order to be the next Gates or Zuckerberg and end up with nothing -- and no diploma. I wonder how many billions of dollars have been "created" by state lotteries.

Many drop out to pursue that. A college dropout who took a swing at going big but only ended up with a small business is far more valuable than a silly diploma.
