I hate to play devils advocate but is dropping out of school a reflection of what is to come when the start up work gets tedious? Please don’t get me wrong I believe you should follow your passion and if that takes dropping out of school or climbing Mt. Everest follow Nike and just do it! Maybe dropping out of school shows the investor that you are serious but are you dropping out because you are serious or because you’re bored and this offers you a way out? Am I way off on this line of thought? By the way if I was facing the same decision I would drop out too.
