What ? None of you clowns said "School of Hard Knocks?" I'm astounded...;)

some college, met a chick, we drank and fucked for just about 2 years, i don't have
a credit to my name. But I had skills
that weren't all that common in 'youngsters' at the time. So i ended up working for uswest as a unix admin, and went on from there.

go to college. Sure you can always go back later, but boy does it suck. and it seems that everyone wants a degree these days, for
whatever its worth. "they did the time" yeah yeah. I learned what I know by doing it, not by paying someone to tell me how to do it. HOWEVER, go to college, but major in something that you want to do because it interests you, NOT because you really want a job in said field. I was an anthro major, and look what I do now. Of 5 senior staff engineers i know, only one of them has a degree in CS, rest are english, general studies, geology, and biology. And all of them make well over 100k a year, not
including things like qualcomm stock options.

go to college, study, get out, do what you wnat. I'd go back myself, in fact am thinking about it, but damn it costs...t
