How many programmers own a half share in their own business at 25? None. I swear if none of my startups work out I will count my engineering degrees a complete waste of time. I found only 2 or three classes moderately interesting, and from a moneymaking standpoint, the brainpower required to make it through the curriculum versus the salary is a joke. I studied EE and use next to none of it. I could have learned to code on my own, and even studied electronics in my own time like I did as a kid, and still ended up in cubicle land, or earned a professional degree to fall back on (medicine, law) probably having a better time in the process. Sometimes you have to separate business and pleasure.
