 i got a full ride and a government stipend for Electrical Engineering/Computer Science (EECS --it was separate then), got kicked out because I never went to class then I graduated with a Philosophy degree 😏 I never liked school, my peers, or my professors

I used to give myself a hard time for not taking full advantage of my education. I was so enamored with the internet I felt like I learned nothing at University, but it turns out I got the perfect education for what I ended up doing. Looking back, getting kicked out of University was the best thing that happened to me; it was horrifying at that time
