Ask HN: Should I drop out of college to work for a promising startup?
I am a sophomore at a small college and I'm really enjoying the classes I'm taking, especially the un-STEMy ones like philosophy and art history (I like my math and CS too, but that's a given). I love my friends here dearly. I'm on a sports team.
But I'm faced with the decision to either continue with college and work at normal internships and campus jobs until I graduate, or drop out and work for an extremely promising startup.
Most of you have probably heard of them or use their product, and they're not bullshit like Uber.
I vibe with the team, I love their product, and they have the chance to be huge. I'd join as engineer #n where n is very small.
What are your thoughts on the upsides of finishing college vs. joining this company?
