1 Year Since Leaving MIT
- evoxed 14y ago> "Wow! I'm paid so much I can buy a house, like, right now!" After dropping out of Cooper Union... well shit, I wish I could say that! I liked the post though– I'm a year behind you, and share the same gratitude to my fiancées family (parts of my own are still coming around). Many others taking similar paths are making some pretty impressive stuff, so good luck!

- sriram_sun 14y ago> It's also fascinating to observe the difference between leaving school with purpose (let's start a company!!), and getting suddenly shoved out of school right after this odd thing called "graduation". Nice!
- Cacti 14y agoYou're too young to realize how insignificant 1 year is.
- pimeys 14y agoAfter dropping out of Aalto University Helsinki, I got a great job with a good salary, a new home town in a new country and I've learned more than in my whole time in university. Yes, I miss some courses, like machine learning, operating systems and compilers. And yes, I have less time to focus on these areas after working nine to ten hours a day.
