Incredibly jealous of both. Can only imagine how many lectures about wasting your potential you heard.

Approximately 0.

Dropping out of MIT must be different than dropping out of BYU

I dropped out because I couldn't afford tuition and got no finaid; I actually only paid for one semester but attended ~2 more years of classes. Left to do an overseas startup to get around US crypto laws as soon as I had funding.

Didn’t realize you were still in Russia

My dad dropped out of high school, but it was to go to college, so idk if that counts. But I do know that I was kinda mad he never told me that that was an option, because I really hated high school, and probably would have finished college if I'd gotten an earlier start

A better option is to make them pay for you to go to college...
