Are you teaching your students underwater basket weaving. I couldn't be an engineer without a degree…
Hence the word "totally."
Obviously college still has an important place in the educational journey for a lot of people. But for many, it's unnecessary, expensive, and the ROI (both money AND time) is abysmal.
Obviously no one is disparaging a college education for engineers (etc.).
this was authored by a classmate of mine from High School. he was definitely in a league of his own. His Dad was our principle, smart family. I haven't read it yet.
Thinking of dropping out of my last 2 years of High School, do you think this is a substitute?
Are you a driven person with strong discipline and have ideas of what you want to do? Go ahead but get your GED, other supplemental info in books like these you can glean from but it needs to apply toward what you need and plan to do.
If you want to drop out because you don't like to study, have no interests or idea of what to do? Probably better to stay. If you jump off a cliff then you better know how to fly fast because the real world is not forgiving

You can't get hired as one but you can do the vast majority of engineering jobs without a college degree. An engineering degree is essentially a litmus test to determine if you can cut it at engineering. You don't use 95% of what you learned. I had to re-learn everything for my PE exam and then promptly forgot it all again.

Would buy but I'm still working my way through "The Fundamentals of Business by Michael Scott" ... Over 1 billion sold... More than the Bible... I'm not surprised.

From what I've gathered going through this with my son this year as a HS senior, the trend is to send your kids to the best public college in your state (or the best one they can get into). People still value a degree, but the ROI for a private college education (unless it's primarily paid for through financial aid) is rapidly declining.
As a hiring manager of technical folks, I don't think I can recall where any of my employees went to undergrad. After your first few jobs, it's mostly irrelevant to the point that I simply check off that they have a degree and that it's in a relevant field when screening candidate resumes.

Dropping from College won't hurt some people since learning isn't confined to where we learn and how we learn. It is all about learner, educator(if any) and the burning desire. I'm sure person would learn nothing in the best schools and best colleges even if they invest numerous years or even if they learned, they may not know how make skills work for them to earn bread and butter.
Know that knowledge is essential in success so get it if it fits your road map, be it this MBA book or free YouTube Videos or spending Hundreds of thousands of dollars at expensive colleges. But when you seat down to learn, give it everything you have in order to get what you need to succeed.
