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.
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.''

has no bearing on whether someone should or shouldn't go to
college.''
