Re:Universities can’t fulfil the myth, but can’t become voca... by visakanv on Monday June 02, 2014 @07:25AM (#7832886)
I never went to University- I got invited to do marketing for a startup right after I was done with my mandatory military service- and it's been great for me.

I have pretty bad ADHD and I'm certain that I would've repeated my patterns of poor performance, procrastination, etc. if I had gone to University.

I much prefer working in an environment where I get immediate and direct feedback, and I work directly on things that make sense (in terms of relating how what I do puts food on the table, a roof over my head, and makes a difference to others).

If I could've skipped junior college and started work earlier, I'd have done that instead.
