One of the things to keep in mind is that the guy who can implement the JVM, the girl who debugs modems, and the dude who has a PhD in theoretical physics, are (usually) all different people. Sites like this are good at surfacing the expert in threads, so that you spend time seeing people at their best. It looks like everyone is brilliant in everything, but in fact what is really happening is that many people are brilliant in their domain.

I did this myself with personal checks. I asked my bank to give me personal checks starting at some moderately sized number so that I wouldn't be giving anyone check #0000001.

Revenue is a part of it, but also remember that it's only a proportion of generated value. The fact that so many people use the app to communicate indicates that it's providing them with substantial value, even if the company chooses not to capture more of that value.

I think you have to ask yourself, "Where will I be in four years in both of these scenarios?" If you choose college, you'll have a degree, some book knowledge, and some debt. If you choose to work, you'll have four years of experience and some money in the bank.

I'd argue that four years of experience trumps the four years of book learning, and that the debt vs. savings issue is secondary, (but of course points towards getting a job now).

So I would suggest you try to find a job rather than go to college.
