It saddens me to see Aza proud of dropping out of "3/4 of the schools he attended" as his title bar proclaims. It's one thing to note that a lot of people drop out of schools to seek their passions, but I never think of the dropping out as being the moment of pride.

Your loyalty should be to yourself, and your sadness comes from within. "Finishing what you start" is not virtuous. Mining what you need and then redirecting your attention is a smarter approach.

Questions of loyalty aside, you're trying too hard to be profound. I'm using sympathy, an interesting human emotion, to make commentary, not dredging up personal strife or attempting directly to change Aza's life and purpose.

Also, I still have to disagree with marketing dropping out 3 times so blithely. Opinions may differ, but as it stands I could interpret that to mean he's had 3 semesters at different colleges and the a degree from a community college. Without even critiquing that course of action, it certainly doesn't seem to convey the same message Aza undoubtedly wants to share.

"I've attended four colleges to learn what I use today" is closer to useful, though still weak when you're talking about such easily misunderstood life choices. It invites questioning, discusses the positive mentality that might lead to those decisions, and doesn't sound like a Business Week fluff piece.

98% of people who've had a successful life have dropped out of college; isn't that surprising and almost certainly causal?
