If you’re planning on dropping out of UC, don’t go there in the first place. You’re in community college now, finish up and find a job. Don’t go to UC if you’re seriously considering dropping out before you’re even attending. I’m confused by this whole post. The “billionaire dropout” syndrome is when you have already well-connected, well-established rich kid who already has a business going (with a not so small helping hand from family) while being part of an Ivy League university. 99% of college dropouts do not go on to be wildly successful because the dropped out. Maybe in spite of, or they found something more meaningful, profitable, etc… but this whole “xyz person dropped out of college and became a multimillionaire at 25” story is very bullshit.
