I dropped out when I was 20. It was one of the best decisions of my life; I can't imagine an alternate life. When people ask me if it's okay to drop out, I tell them that it's a bad decision, in most cases.

Unlike others, I didn't drop out of an engineering course. I dropped out of an accounts course, to work on my web startup.

On the face of it, it sounds like a major risk. I think it was a very calculated, and risk-free decision. I had started working while I was still studying, and was making decent money when I dropped out; multiple times more money than what I would make by completing college and getting a job like my peers. Also, I hated accounts, and loved tech. The thought of spending your only life doing something you hate was unbearable.

So, you see, the decision was unanimous.

When people think about dropping out, it is usually because they think college is boring, or they like working over studying. This is what makes dropping out very risky.
