This story gives me so much hope.
I too have meandered around in life. Although i've always 'Focused' and worked long hours, i've jumped between so many projects it's hard to keep track of them all.
After HS i joined the air force for an enlistment, didn't care for it, tried college, didn't like it so i got a year long internship at tesla. Tried to go back to college for a semester but I hated it so i did another year long internship at Tesla. After my second internship they told me they could only hire me full time if i got my degree, so I went back to school. However, after a month I dropped out. Now i'm 26 and i feel like i have nothing to show for it. However, this essay paired with a book i've recently read called on Range gives me a bit of hope.
- curiousllama 6y agoWhat job were you doing at Tesla? Is there a particular reason you hate college so much? Purely curious

I'd had 6 years of supply chain experience before trying to get a degree in supply chain and if i'm being honest everything i was learning in school was completely pointless and would never be useful. I even have the GI bill so i was being paid to go to school and my soul still couldn't take it.
- curiousllama 6y agoCheck out WGU - I've heard (second hand) it's a great way to get the credential. Progression isn't time based, so if you can pass all the finals, you could theoretically be done in a couple weeks. https://www.wgu.edu/ https://www.wgu.edu/
- RhodoGSA 6y agoThanks for this, however i've gotten to the point in my life that if a piece of paper matter to you more than past experiences and projects, I don't want to work with you or for you :)
