You don't need to move to Silicon Valley to create a startup. You can bootstrap one right now!

You're in an ideal situation where your only obligation is to do a couple hours of school work (and still get top grades). If you do as PG suggests, and eat ramen instead of steak (or even move back in with your parents), you can forego work and focus on bootstrapping your startup.

With an incredibly low burn-rate, you'll have a very long run-way... all while getting your degree.

Should you get a degree? Absolutely... unfortunately that piece of paper can open doors for you in ways you can't foresee right now.
