"Follow your dreams" is the stupidest advice ever.

And you think dropping out of school is what made they successful? And also the percentage of people that will become billionaires is just infimal so telling someone to drop school to follow the steps of a billionaire is ludicrous. And yes drugs may not be illegal in some countries, still doing drugs won't benefit you as teenager.

And I said twice I don't give one phrase advice. I councel based on the case and knowing the person, looking for a solution together.

What if dropping out and following the billionaires path is their dream though?

My response was basically aimed at DelioPT for the most part. You were clear about the fact that you work through a problem based on the situation at hand, which is even better than trying to generalize it for a group.

I would never advise someone to drop school to follow a billionaire path. I would say having graduation can be an asset for his future doesn't matter the career he chooses, and that if he have an urge to be an enterpreneu he can start doing it while studying (and sure if it bloosom he can then drop school).

Seems like your answer really were more torwards Delio, that is why I found strange that you were like responding disagreeing with me but actually agreeing =]
