I gained a lot of perspective when I took off and moved to SF to run my start-up. When I returned to school couple years later, I enjoyed it a lot more. I credit it to better class selection(now that I knew what I was really interested in) and an improved attitude towards school(I learned that I didn't know it all as I often thought before I took off).
- r00fus 16y agoJust wanted to say some of the best folks in my college CS group were military folks who were a bit older (2-4 years) who knew the value of the education. That said, it is a huge stigma to not finish your degree... you better have a job or strong vision. For every Steve Jobs there are probably hundreds who would have done better by completing their studies.
