This is a really useful perspective for undergrads. I would have gained a lot of value if I could have read this while studying.
I started a startup during my undergrad degree, and ended up finishing my degree at the same time. I made a deal with my lecturers to allow me to skip basically everything during the term time, and then just took "holiday" from my startup to write exams. It worked out OK and we raised a lot of money the year after I got my degree. So I don't think that's impossible, but it was pretty hard work.
