High school drop out. Did pretty well in school, but fucking hated it. Don't regret dropping out for a second. I learned more during that time than I probably ever will again. Previous salaries in the last five years $120 - $200K. Currently founder of a startup with $1.25 million funding. Do not recommend anyone drop out of high school though. That it worked out okay for me is probably the exception rather than the rule.
