I’m junior in HS.
I take college classes in community college (full load). I work as a software developer (part-time – C++/C# stuff) in a local software shop (25-35 hrs/wk, depending on deadlines hitting us). In addition to all, I run varsity track. But yeah, just because there’s not a lot of people so there’s no JV :)) My times suck.

The problem is, I failed two classes in HS and my GPA sucks big time (2.6?).

The question is:

a) Should I even bother going to college? I can land jobs without a college degree. Just maybe with a bit more hardships.
b) If I should, would I bother applying as a freshman anywhere at all? Or I’ll just wait it out and transfer somewhere, get degree and continue working.

for all I care, Gatez didn’t get a degree :)
