Found my Obsidian entry from when I decided to dropout. In retrospect, it feels like it was a no-brainer. Reading this, I remember how terrifying it was. I didn't have a job lined up and had no idea what I wanted to do, I just knew I wanted to work on real things and escape the uni bubble. Things work out in the end.

That first thought is such an important bulwark, though admittedly likely doesn’t make it any easier to decide. Do you have any thoughts on someone thinking through the same conundrum but not positioned to be employable while deciding?

Kudos on going with your gut I also laugh when I reflect back on that time in my life (also ended up dropping out) Feels like this huge decision in the moment but you realize later that not having a degree doesn’t really matter
