Not a dropout, went through undergrad and grad in xxx design (although a big portion of it is not the kind of design I do now, but i guess this is how close you can get) I am happy that I had the education, but self teaching is the key. I am doing type related work now and i am completely self taught in this field. No matter what education you get, self teaching is still the most important. Even with grad school, formal education of design is only 6 years, self teaching is the education that lasts for the rest of your life.
