Nope.

If they were dropouts and they were successful, doesn't mean everyone who drops out will be successful. They didn't dropout due to bad behavior or being lazy or being dope. They dropped out because they learned quickly and they were probably very good at what they were learning. They didn't want to follow somebody (Leaders don't follow), they wanted to create their own identity, well most college students don't want to create anything, they just want job in reputable company with good salary, they are followers. (Followers can't lead).

Education is not useless, it is necessary but it does not and cannot guarantee success. Education is like Gym, you go and they teach you how to be healthy, they cannot guarantee health, you have to work hard to stay fit, exactly same way what they teach you in college must be used wisely to become successful.

I have one more thought, it is very insulting, but it is true, people who can't succeed usually wants to blame on something else, education/university/government/parents etc.. unfortunately, even changing college system or anything will not improve them, they will still fail and they will find something else to blame !!
