So what you're saying is, if I hadn't dropped out of high school during
my 17th trip around Sol, I wouldn't've gotten stuck in this dead end job?
Probably I wouldn't have that honorary MSCS degree either. Wouldn't've
wrote all that code, nor those RFC's, nor started those various companies.
Wouldn't've found my various mentors nor been a mentor to any of the folks
who count me as having been one?
Is that how a college degree would have improved my career by age 39?
Sounds like a bad deal to me.
