Is there a point to school? 
shadowz: Trust me, what you learn from high school will probably not help you at all. In fact, you'll forget all of it after graduation. However, the point of high school is to develop certain skills and to challenge you.That being said, I'm in this situation as well. I'm a grade 12 student from Canada. However, I've decided to join the hacking and start up culture. Being in the technology industry, I, of course, started my own web design company called Design Vetica. Sam, rather than waiting, why not do it now? Soon after, we were covered in many articles. One of them, for example, is http://www.getharvest.com/blog/2010/01/design-vetica-the-dou... As of now, we are already looking into building our first applicationShameless plug aside, I think school is great, but learning should not be about getting a job. I love programming, that's why I'm going into Computer Science in university. Again, Sam, if you truly want to accomplish something, start today.Two great links that talks about school:
