Gabe dropped out of Harvard!?

[wookiecharmander]

Guys I just found this out today but apparently Gabe dropped out of Harvard after 3 years of going there to work for Microsoft this revelation shocked me think of how successful he could of been if he stayed in school let this be a lesson to anyone reading this if you are lucky enough to pursue an education past high school don't take it for granted like Gabe did see it through to the end and you might be more successful than Gabe can ever dream to be unless if you know he goes back to school but I doubt he will

But he could be more happy and more successful remember he may be rich but that money can't buy happiness

Considering how successful he is now, chances are he wouldn't have been as successful if he had stayed with Harvard. A degree can get you only so much these days. Also, where is your source on this? I could use a good read.

I actually had to Google this myself to see if it was true or not but I saw several websites say the same thing about him dropping out of Harvard

Higher Education does not equal better life and happiness. Lots of people get degrees and live their lives as abject, miserable failures. Education is simply one tool to leverage the motivated and passionate to success. Gabe too the path he saw a future with, doing something he wanted to.

"The most valuable educational experience for me was sort of the nontraditional one. I was going to university and went out to visit my brother – he just started at this new software company, which was the third-largest software company on the east side of Lake Washington, and I was going out to visit him, and all of a sudden he was working all the time. So rather than hanging out with me and seeing the Space Needle, I was just hanging out with him at work.

Steve Ballmer, who's currently the president, got mad that I was distracting him and said, 'Well, if you're going to be spending all your time hanging out here, you need to do something useful.'

Those first three months when I was working with people like Tom Corbett and Neil Konzen and Steve Wood, was probably the most intense and valuable educational experience I've ever had. They sort of showed me how to be a professional software developer, you know, [so] it was an incredibly vast and really significant set of lessons that I learned. "

He seems to feel he made the very right choice.

I'm still not going to university. Getting a degree will help you with totally nothing these days.

what people usually disregard is that he managed to get into harvard in the first place

Higher education doesn't guarantee success and happiness but it does guarantee you more success and happiness then if you dropped out for example someone could get a degree and hit a bump in the road and now he is bankrupt but using his higher education he can get out of this situation and through hard work he has a chance of obtaining success which would of been completely inaccessible to him if he dropped out of college

But you can buy a lot of things that would make you happy.
Just saying.

Money is not the key to happiness for everyone.

That's true. But for some people it is. Let's not argue more about this, ok?
