The main purpose of the text is to show that college dropouts are not successful because they are college dropouts.
Explanation:
The myth of the college dropout is a text on the well established myths around college dropouts who became really successful in life and busts the myth that somehow being a dropout can help you get success.
This is argued as the <u>people who drop out and became successful were simply in such a position that they did not have to be in college to be successful</u> anymore and could just start their ventures when they wanted to.
The phrase from the excerpt that best reflects Hamlet's state of mind is C. How weary, stale, ...
This is because Hamlet is weary, meaning tired, from having to decide so much what he is supposed to do. On one hand, he wants to avenge his father's death by killing his own uncle. On the other hand, he is fatigued, and quite suicidal, which is obvious from his soliloquy, To be or not to be.
