Yeah should have left the college early. But there is catch with that career path, you need to be strong enough to face the ups and downs that would arise in the future. Dropping out early, doing your own business needs serious guts mate. There are challenges like managing the funds, having real world experiences, need to talk fluently while marketing, having formality all the time and what not. It takes lot of efforts if we are doing that on our own otherwise we could end up with disastrous path. If education is there then we have specific path associated with that educational background and the skills that it is going to teach us. Even some fail in their lives though they acquire good educational background because they lack the necessary guts to implement them in the real world. So yeah there are many paths you could take and all lead to earning money at the end but some give a lot some give nothing.
