Depends on who is chasing me.

Terrible.

No not anyone. I think college sends a strong signal to employers that you have a baseline competence and can follow instructions well. It also shows your stress tolerance and ability to exist in an institution. If you are going to be a professional, especially a technical profession (STEM etc.), college is probably a pretty good trade-off.

​

I think for entrepreneurs it is a slightly different story. You do not need to send that signal to employers, however, in the likely event that you fail, a college degree may be a good safety. My degree was supposed to be in Computer Science, and even though I dropped out, I have done enough tasks/projects (QuillBot) where I could still get a decent software engineering job without the degree if I failed. I took this into account before I dropped out.

In an early model (not the current one), QuillBot made the following Paraphrase:
