@AdjunctProf The link you posted about people dropped out of college which a is a very tiny percentage of success. Probably you could write a never ending Encyclopedia of people who dropped out of college and are working on minimum wage. Also, most of these dropouts in the article knew that what they are going to do when after they dropped out. Like Mark already had Facebook, Bill had Microsoft and so on. So lets point out the hard work and and the skill of sensing opportunity rather than encouraging the wrong idea.
