You might want to reconsider the Bill Gates example, given that he says:

“I didn’t leave college because it wasn’t suited to me. I left college because I thought I had to move quickly on the Microsoft opportunity. I had already finished three years and if I had used my AP credits properly I would have graduated. [...] I am as fake a dropout as you can get.”

There really is fine line between dropping out to go "towards" something and dropping out to "get away"
