Of the 18 or so people at Merkle, I think I know where 3/18 went to college.

College is helpful for career if:

1. You major in something with hard skills
2. In the US, you got to a school that gives you an initial professional network

But after your first or second job, most places just care about what you've done at the previous job (or built on your own).

coming up on a year since I officially dropped out of college and I haven’t looked back since

but also would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that I’m very fortunate to have family and communities like Farcaster who have helped and made this whole journey very worth it

Respect. Dropping out isn’t easy, but having the right support makes all the difference. Wishing you more success ahead! 🚀
