I was thinking that this was my path, I was a Math major (well actually Math-English double major) and I dropped out to focus on English. Of course I never got a Field Medal (or much success as a poet for that matter).

Sounds great. You don't need a Fields Medal for life to be worthwhile, or it's hopeless for all of humanity.
