  Opposite anecdote for you... I skipped class, a lot. So much so that I nearly got kicked out of (a red brick) university in the UK. Up in front of the dean and everything. I was too busy reselling and refurbishing Unix kit and installing network kit and cabling. Oh and like yourself, sleeping when I desired :) After a year, I quit my electrical engineering degree anyway much to the disappointment of my entire family. I don't regret this for a minute. Firstly, most of the entire higher education system in the UK is a scam. It was primarily an exercise in shutting up and sucking cock which I really can't stand for. I'm not willing to trade my ethics and morals for an education. Secondly, prospects are terribly inflated. None of my peers are employed in that sector as it's cheaper to get your designs and production knocked up in the far east. All of them have a shit ton of debt, even after 15 years and are way down the ladder in their respective industries. At best, they're just about breaking even at the end of the month. The university in questoin is still selling the same course with false promises at the end. My practical knowledge and experience over the years turned out to be more valuable than the education would have been. Obviously I make no recommendation but higher education was a social event and business building opportunity for me.
