Not that we're against college and weekends at football stadia and pubs. But if you want to become a Big Man on e-Campus, that costly parchment may not be worth all that effort. Just ask these three high-riding dropouts. -- AL
JOHN KRICFALUSI Creator of Ren & Stimpy; currently president of Spumco.com College: Sheridan College, Oakville, Ontario (1977-78) Why he quit: ''They teach you bad things in art school.'' Does college matter? ''Horse sense is what you need on the Internet.''
DAN RODRIGUES Founder of file-sharing site Scour.com College: UCLA (1996-98) Why he quit: ''What began as a college project became a business opportunity.'' Does college matter? ''Not necessarily...but the experience and contacts matter to almost every business.''
KEVIN WENDLE Cofounder, IFILM College: NYU (1975-76) Why he quit: ''Got a bigger job [TV producing] in Chicago.'' Does college matter? ''[T]he Net is the greatest education tool ever created, but that has no bearing on whether someone should or shouldn't go to college.''
