Putting off college was good

I was just talking to some students in one of my classes today. They took a year or so off from college because they were tired of school. So was I but taking a year was never something I considered. One guy actually took three years off. He is 21 and has been running a restaurant (working 60-80 hrs per week) since he was 17.

I really hate school so I wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. It will take me 5 years (1.5 more to go) to get my BE in mechanical engineering and add a few more years on down the road for grad school. I will get my BE when I’m 23.
