The legacy of the dropout

<p>I think it’s funny that the mention famous graduates and don’t mention Barack Obama, our current president (CC’83). Maybe because he transferred?</p>

<p>But anyway, if you can create a product or a service that everyone wants, nobody is going to care whether you went to college much less where you dropped out from. Mark Zuckerberg would’ve been successful regardless of whether he dropped out of Harvard or UMass-Amherst because he created a service/product that people wanted. Bill Gates would’ve been successful regardless of whether he had invented Macs after he dropped out of Stanford or Chico State.</p>

<p>The fact that they were able to get into those schools was a testament to their own skills and prowess - and not the schools’ ‘shaping’ them into something.</p>
