No more school

Well, done with college.

B.S. in History, Technology, & Society from Georgia Tech.

Honestly, I would say the majority of it was a waste of time. Rote memorization of meaningless facts and data, busy work, and bullshit papers.

But I did learn how to write, met a lot of cool people, had the occasional light bulb moment.

Based on my experience at just one of thousands of colleges, I would say that there is abundant room for improvement in the way we educate. Young people should be allowed to explore their interests freely, not forced to study irrelevant topics that don't interest them. Why do we retain this method?

Of course, I am content with my decision to earn a degree from this university. I will have better job opportunities and "social respect".

As for now, I have no idea what I want to do. Some money in the bank for a while.

Maybe I'll start a business helping the older generation learn how to get the most out of their iPhones. But I'll probably have to get some sort of job until there is significant revenue from that.

I've got some real thinking to do.
