When I dropped out of school I thought the odds on the outcome of staying and graduating were worse than leaving. The bad outcome having been getting an average salary at a job I was unhappy with. I dropped out with a tiny income from my business, and the extra free time made a massive difference within 12 months.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned was to think through problems myself. There are a lot of degrees and dimensions to success. If you live in a first world country, are physically healthy, and everything is working with your brain, you are 90% of the way there. Exceptionalism is not a requirement to success.
