But if they're not studying something interesting to them, their chances of success are less. My opinion. I have no facts to back up that opinion. But I do have anecdotal experiences.

This was certainly true for me. I hated school and made it through two years of college courses but no degree. I got a job as a teller in a bank and fell in love with the work. The bank sent me to classes and within five years I was a manager. Retired as a VP. Loved most every minute. I started college having no idea what I wanted to do with my life.
