Is there a point to school? 
g1t1t: well first, just accept that coming out of high school, there is a lot you don't know.enroll in challenging classes at a good college and you'll see it soon enough. you'll realize high school was a joke. classes at a good school will not be a joke and there is a good chance you will be humbled or even gut-punched by seeing a B- or (surely) lower on an exam for the first time in your life. don't sweat it, knocking the swagger out of undergrads is part of first yearnow about this coding "blub" bit. hey, remember no one is forcing you to do this. every job has its blub element. supreme court judge, CTO for google, president...every one of these has some blub component. thats lifesame thing goes for school. if you really don't want to go, don't. but be prepared to work twice as hard to show people you are smart. i've seen it done, but only but exceptionally focused and gifted people. they call them gifted because not everyone is. its okay to let the degree get you in the front door...its how 99% of us did it
