The only thing I've ever regretted in my life is not going and doing a startup right out of high-school. In hind sight I already know it failed, but I still regret it. School will always be there IMHO.
- vondip 15y agoThank you, your response means a lot to me. Do you think the figures I talked about are exaggerated?
- cpt1138 15y agoYes I do think they are exaggerated. However I would say do it and set yourself a timeframe to re-evaluate, regardless of money.
- robflynn 15y agoI joined a start up right out of high school. It went belly up in 2001 or so, but that lead to some other jobs and what not. Though, now I'm 30 and looking for work and kind of wishing I'd done college right after high school. Maybe it's a 'the grass is greener' kind of thing. Though I did have the same mindset that "school will always be there." I just never quite made it back to "there." (My response might be a but jumbled, but I am agreeing with you, while at the same time looking back on my own thoughts and feelings of past decisions. Sorry for any confusion.)
- vondip 15y agoThis is my fear exactly. To my understanding life has got its own tendency to unfold. The older you are, the more distractions you have. Chances are slimier to finish a degree in a well known \ respected university. This is my fear.
