Is there a point to school? 
jasonwilk: I have friends who are very smart, decided to Fore-go college and opted for a career. They turned out weird.Remember, College is not an all day, all night venture like High school is. You can book your schedule to go to class only 2-3 days a week and the rest of your days you can spend programming at a Startup or for yourself.If you think college will be a waste of time, you should re-think how you are approaching it. Don't major in CS and just take classes that generally interest you. Get an edge on programmers in areas where they like such as finance, communications, english, etc. Become well rounded, it's a better way to live.Lastly, college is an awesome place to meet girls. At the college i went to, there is some crazy stat that 70% of the students end up marrying someone that went to the school. It's a lot harder meeting girls in the real world. Let me rephrase that, meeting quality girls. The best of the crop get picked off in college. Seriously, it's true. Good luck Sam!
