I did a year and a half in general ed college before I realized that Google was teaching me more. This year I'm taking a break from college, and for once I'm actually learning something valuable.

I plan to go back when I can focus more on school, and after taste-testing the career menu- but only to obtain that piece of paper, and to keep my social life active. I used to get straight A's all through k-12 with no effort and I used to want to get a degree right after High School, like everyone else. But I would hate to make the mistake of spending thousands of dollars and several years of my life learning something I'm not interested in or is not relevant to the workplace of TODAY and TOMORROW. Cliffnotes:

So while I used to want to supplement my education with experience, I now would rather supplement my experience with education.
