There was a study in the economist saying that earning potentials in uni drop outs were worse than both grads and people who didn’t do higher education.
That makes perfect sense. I’m guessing people rarely drop out by choice. If you run into problems that prevent you from completing your degree, those problems probably aren’t going to disappear just because you drop out, so it’ll also affect your ability to work as well, and thus also your earning potential. As long as the prevalence of these issues is relatively small in the population, it’ll get drowned out by everyone else in the no uni groups.
Being a two time college drop out and seeing shit like so and so was a drop out and is now rich.
The key is learning and applying knowledge.
Dropping out of college is ridiculous life advice.
Theres also a difference between dropping out of somewhere like Harvard and a back water university.

You can solve any academic problem with enough cash.
If you run out of money, you drop out. If you stressball and can’t complete courses, you drop out.
I’m the first generation to attend college, so maybe that blue collar spirit and a little luck kept me mostly in jobs since then.
I think in almost all of those cases they were rich to begin with. I mean fair play they’re a lot richer now than when they started, but still.
