Sometimes college doesn't work out, and knowing when it ISN"T time for you
to be there is good. I quit school after 5 years (note I didn't say five
focused single track years), got married and worked for 3 years, then went
back part time and ground out the quickest degree I could (BSCS instead of
physics) in a little over a year.
Some of us, and my guess is that this list is a collecting point, don't fit
well as corporate pegs. If I ever get the desire to have all my square
edges ground off and start kissing some moron's butt for a paycheck I will
be very surprised.
