Drop Out and Get Schooled: The Case for Thinking Twice About College is a 2017 book by Patrick Bet-David, the founder of the financial services firm PHP Agency and the Valuetainment media company, written with Thomas N. Ellsworth. Bet-David, who skipped college and served in the U.S. Army before going into business, questions the assumption that a four-year degree is the best path for every young person. The book weighs rising tuition and student debt against alternatives such as entrepreneurship, sales and learning on the job.
