What do you like to do?

I was in a similar situation as yours. I was unhappy at school, and had thought about dropping out. A guy who I worked for who had also gone to MIT, but dropped out and never went back (and regretted it), asked me what I liked. He pointed me in the direction of the Lab for Computer Science (now CSAIL), and his former advisor. I got a UROP in that group and had a chance to witness the birth of the Internet.
