Hmm. I am a 20 years old college dropout, who gone to college for only two semester. Poor study management skill lead me to drop a science class and then some in the middle of my last semester. I use the free time in between to build up my coding skill using my freed up willpower. Due to my scheluding error, I miss the exam for my English, which I was previously enjoying good grade in. I failed to qualify for the next semester of college.<p>Though fruitful networking and association during my teen years, I manages to get a job programming and moved myself to another state. I make crap wage, which is to be expected for a twenty year old.<p>Nonetheless, I managed to save myself in less than six month a few thousand dollars in addition to a few thousands I already have from a small investment that somehow paid off. I am in a far better position, financially than most people of my age, probably.<p>Moral of the story? I am not quite sure. I choose the right field that I am interested in. Of course, my profession does not impose such a heavy burden educational requirement or have high capital cost.<p>If I aspired to be a doctor or an engineer, I am quite certain I will be a crushed person, in which my life will be short and brutish.
