As my sister always says (usually when the failing grades arrive in the mail and all hell is breaking loose)
"Don't let school get in the way of your education"
School doesn't work for some people. And god knows for us people who like alternative learning (aka ADD in medical circles) that college is a waste of money... 4 years for me and while it's been education and fun, I'm not going to be working in the field. I think the most important thing you get in college is social interaction and independence... If it was just the classroom, then let me sit at my terminal and do interactive courses... back to the regularly scheduled programing...
