I got kicked out of one college because I never turned up for class, and when I did it was with a hangover. I thought it was boring as hell. Got kicked out of another for pretty much the same reasons. Went to the exams anyway (you can actually do that in Denmark, but the curriculum is harder) and got pretty good grades. Went on to study economics, but dropped out because I thought it was bollocks on a piedestal and most of the professors didn't really know what they were talking about. Besides I was busy being a rave promoter, and found it to be more fun than school.
Interestingly I've always been the go-to guy for obscure information, business strategy and solving hard problems. Maybe that says something about the education system?
