Too bad higher education is fucking retarded anyway. you learn 10% of what you need for actually working during school. 90% of the rest you pick up when actually working. 90% of school is just diploma padding, persistence and stress checking and sucking your wallet dry.

If I had a time machine I'd be a carpenter, telecom installation guy or machine shop techie instead.

Dropping out was a winning choice for me. You got to learn when it is worth to admit previous mistakes and act accordingly. Getting into my local retarded college surrounded by negligent teachers was driving me insane. For the record, it was Computer Science in a subhuman country. Getting lectured by boomers on technology and get forced to endure their broken English is an unhealthy way to seek insanity. You could just overdose on LSD and be done with it quicker and cheaper.
Dropped out and in a matter of months I've understood cryptography, cryptocurrencies, Solidity, made 7000$ from an initial 250$ investment, learnt around 3k Japanese words + 1k kanji, now I'm learning Full Stack Development from actual EDUCATIONAL resources (I refuse referring to UML autism, what I was doing in the degree, as "Software Engineering"), and I'm way happier, although I'm also a bit stressed due to the fatigue from this quick pace. The source of most of my stress, though, is that I find it hard to cope with the fact I've lost 3 years in that degree trying to get a piece of paper that claims I can do things I can easily prove anyway to any company interested in renting my time.

Oh, I remember. I got in because I wanted to do AI stuff with the big boys. I accept my destiny now and I accept I've probably not be let in into research. I'm building a few NN projects myself, good thing is that I only need sponsors to buy computer cycles for me to train those projects. Maybe I could be let in into OpenAI tier of stuff if I finish a few toy projects and write papers about them? I know I don't need to go to college to write stuff in LaTeX. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the blogpost but most of the time, dropping out is a good choice (if you value your time highly, as I tend to obsessively do). Just make sure you actually do something with that extra time, DO NOT indulge in leisure! It's a sacrifice you must commit in order to make up for the time you wasted.

I'm not a dropout but I feel like one. I left school before I could finish my degree. The main reason was money since I was and am a poorfag and I felt like wanting to work and earn instead of wasting yet another semester. My family was also living in the capital so I chose to go there thinking that maybe I can finish my degree whilst I'm working. Ofc that haven't happened since... It's funny because part of me feels a bad about it but at the end of the day I am earning and honestly, I wouldn't be earning more even if I had my degree. Guess I am lucky for working at a place that doesn't need the paperwork...

Imagine being so pozzed you accept another man's thoughts as your own.

Completing a degree is the ultimate mind cuckery. Forever branded by your intellectual owners, like cattle.

Dropping out is essentially refusing to bend the knee, the ultimate power move. The cherry on top is if you reject society and become a hermit that lives by his own means.

When someone boasts about their """qualifications""" it is equivalent to boasting that they got fucked in the ass harder by a thicker, longer peen than their peers. Look at them with abject disgust.

I'm a dropout. I studied economics. It sucked. So I started an apprenticeship as a carpenter. Just have to create my journeyman's piece and then I'm a journeyman. One of the best decisions in my life, ever. The job is great. A large part of the job is decision making and problem solving. I love it. The times of garbage pay and cunt gaffers and foremen is over as well. The boomers with their small and medium sized trade businesses who treat their apprentices like shit are finished soon. They find no successors and those businesses die out, in large numbers. At the same time, zoomers and millenials don't like to do a trade job. This means that, in a few years, there are only a few trade businesses left and those who are left will be able to make some juicy price increases.
When I'm done with my apprenticeship, I hope I can start an engineering degree for wood engineering or something like that.
