The dads are weighing their options
This usually takes a few seconds
This is one of the most pivotal decisions a young adult can make. Dropping out of college can accelerate entrepreneurial success — or permanently limit career options if the business fails. The stakes involve income potential, debt, opportunity cost, and long-term financial security.
Poor Dad Says
The Bottom Line
Rich Dad believes you should leave only if the business already shows real traction and upside that outweighs the opportunity cost of staying. Poor Dad believes finishing college provides essential security and fallback options in a risky world. The right choice depends on whether your business is validated — or still just an exciting idea.
