£500,000 and drop out of education : Deal or No Deal ?

If someone gave you tax free £500,000 today on the basis that cannot continue education, would you / wouldn't you accept it? Why?

No deal. With education I could potentially make more money than that long term.
Obvious no deal.

Cheeky edit from 50k to 500k.

I would be on my calculator working out Net Present Values and stuff like that.

yes, I'll start a business and become rich, who needs education if your rich?
Everyone saying No deal is confused.

I'd take it, 100%.
Drop out of education for life? Not worth
Definitely. Use that money to make more money.

You don't need more education to make more money...
Drop out as in stop what I'm doing right now? Well, that means I can re-enter higher education again, so I would take it, I would be financially as hell and put it into bonds or w/e and be financially independent for the rest of my life. Then go back to education.
Loads of people have dropped out and become Millionaires.

So having a starting capital of £500,000 is certainly something I'll take
Nah. I'd burn through the £500,000 too quickly.

I think the "can't continue education" probably rules out dropping out then immediately resuming your studies...

It wouldn't really be much of a trade-off really otherwise, would it?
I'd drop out for free
