1 Year Since Leaving MIT

> "Wow! I'm paid so much I can buy a house, like, right now!"

After dropping out of Cooper Union... well shit, I wish I could say that! I liked the post though– I'm a year behind you, and share the same gratitude to my fiancées family (parts of my own are still coming around). Many others taking similar paths are making some pretty impressive stuff, so good luck!

Nolan here. I opened this and was reading this when I realized.. I know these guys, I lived with them!

congrats to you and erika, didn't know you were engaged.

After dropping out of Aalto University Helsinki, I got a great job with a good salary, a new home town in a new country and I've learned more than in my whole time in university.

Yes, I miss some courses, like machine learning, operating systems and compilers. And yes, I have less time to focus on these areas after working nine to ten hours a day.

You're too young to realize how insignificant 1 year is.
