Ignorant and obtuse. Just because it worked out for you means that everybody should ditch it? And what about industries that you must have school for like medical?
They are pussies. The author has some growing up to do - go go girls asses. Really?
What, you got something against asses?
Assuming English English rather than American English, it is rather funnier to read...
Oh how I love people who refuse to get the point of anything. I never suggested to ditch anything and, in case you missed it, I was obviously talking of industries where you can go by without it - hence why I was talking about web.
> Even after almost half a year of absence from school, they still tried their best to make me change my mind and continue learning.

It's a fatally self-referential claim. The first thing the author needs to learn is to stop saying "learning" when he means "schooling". Education and schooling are separate topics. One may leave school, but one never leaves education.
