It's still always better to pursue a college education. This mindset that "well you don't
need an education, look at person X and person Y" can lead you to make decisions that will ruin your whole life. People should only drop out if they have absolutely no choice or if they've already become rich and famous.
This is why it's dangerous to idolize people like Pepcé and Jay-Z as more than just artists. People start using them as an excuse not to study. And if you don't develop your brain then letters such as the one Pepcé wrote to the First Lady will be normal and acceptable to you, because you wouldn't be able to do better.
