High school was a total disaster. I talked my way into the co-op program, and got an internship at a security company. I was only taking 4 classes my senior year. I did go to college for almost 12 weeks, but it wasn't working out.

I am honestly jealous of the people who say they valued their university experience. I really wish I could have enjoyed formal education that much.

My life was funded by the ability to walk into software development jobs. If I were born 5 years later, I would be a different (probably non-functioning) person.
