Not only that, education is important. What if the kid blows out his knee? Then what will he do? Gotta think about that. Always keep a backup option.
But yeah, let's keep it real. Put aside qualifications, who the fuck wants to go to class if you have God given abilities and have an instant opportunity to get rich? No one. Unless you're in a strict bookworm family that values education.
Even if you have skills there's no reason to stay. I know quite a few engineers that bailed early in the late 80's/early 90's because they knew how to program and companies were throwing money at them. They regret not getting the degree because it is an accomplishment but they aren't worse for wear beyond that. Hell, they had a head start on everyone.
