It’s ok to drop out of college when you and others realize you will already be more productive and learn more by going straight to work. So like Gabe Newell dropping out to join Microsoft, or Zuckerberg dropping out to build Facebook.

Otherwise it’s more of a should never have attempted college.

Accepting you’re in the latter camp there are some important questions. What was your major, how much of it did you complete, and what exactly is your current job.

Those are important to know to as they effect how far you can actually go without a degree.

Unfortunately CEO requires no degree, but head of IT does.
