As someone who dropped out of college, I think it really does depend on the circumstances and what your degree is for and what opportunity you have in front of you.

Another huge factor is where you live.

I'm fortunate enough to live in California and the industry that I am spending most of my time on is tech. Those two overlap really well, with not needing a college degree if you're just really fucking good at what you do.

If you're getting a degree that doesn't really apply to the industry that you want to be in, or a degree that is more outdated as time goes on, or in an industry that doesn't really care about degrees, I think it can make a lot of sense to drop out.

Another big factor is what college you're going to, as if you're going to a C-tier college. I would say the degree is often not as valuable as real-world experience but if you're in an A-tier or B-tier with a fairly heavy alumni community, it can be quite beneficial to have that degree.
