Dropping out of college may have worked out in retrospect for Steve Jobs. But those who dropped out and never got so far, we don’t hear making commencement speeches at Stanford. Brilliant and driven? Go for it. Otherwise, higher education makes a lot of sense. (Written by someone trying to convince his 19-year-old to go to school!)

Hi Chris!
Definitely it’s a different story for someone like Jobs than most others. I don’t think he was advocating not going to school at all though; he went on to say that dropping out allowed him to study whatever he wanted and took him in directions he couldn’t have predicted.
Good luck with that campaign of yours. If she(?) doesn’t buy it right away, she may go later. A while working boring, underpaid jobs might have a surprising effect
