First, congrats. But I think he meant household name successful. :-)

Touche!
Unless we take as given that the purpose of life is to become a household name, I don't see why that's a useful thing to measure. Jeff Bezos is not a household name, but I don't many people would turn down a career like his.
I suppose I'll throw my hat into the ring. Dropped out during my sophomore year (with bad grades to boot). Now I'm going to a good college, I have a good job, and I have some hobbies I love that I'm pretty good at.
That said I wouldn't recommend dropping out to most people, it's way to easy to just drop out "because I want to play video games" or because "school is boring", you need to want to drop out because "school isn't intellectually challenging and I have things I want to push myself in".
