so i quit at 15...

took the test at 20...


NOBODY CARES.

Ive seen the smartest do nothing. Smart is almost a lie, its one of 5 tools you need in life. To get my masters of science, smart was the least important. Managing a budget, field workers, presenting to the public, self motivating, getting approval of a panel of professors on 50 decisions over several years; that was hard. Lots of people dropped out because they were used to reading books and taking tests; that is easy by compariaon.
