I'm not on Quora, so I can't answer there, but here's my take ...<p>School/College/University is an unparalleled opportunity to learn stuff. If you're bored, it's your problem, and you need to take control. If you're convinced the existing classes only cover things you already know, go and get an exemption. Perhaps you can choose not to attend, but then ace the exams. If so, do that.<p>You need to find interesting stuff. Audit, and perhaps take, classes that are a year, even two years, beyond where you are. If they have prerequisites that you haven't done, get an exemption.<p>Believe me that the professors will want to keep you, and if granting a probationary exemption will do it, they'll do it.<p>But <i>you need to take control.</i> You need to show them that you understand their concerns, and that you will not fail and flunk out.<p>Yes, this is hard work. Yes, this requires initiative, but if you're the kind of person who will do well at a startup then you've got initiative in bucket loads, and you're not afraid of hard work.<p>So here's a challenge - go and get your degree in one year instead of four. That would look good on your resume, especially if you also have a side-project to demonstrate.<p>Note: Some of the above might be bad advice for you. But what's certain is that if youre finding college boring, the future is in <i>your</i> hands.
