Banana Switcheroo

Taking The Chance

It’s official. I’m leaving uni in search of bigger things, plentiful riches and to travel the world. I’ve never been more sure about anything in my entire life.

Is it a risk? Hell yeah. Is it gunna be fun, having nothing but a dream and the drive to do whatever it takes? HELL YEAH!

Back Home

Safe and well, just. I managed to get left behind by the coach in the middle of nowhere at a motorway service station, but apart from that I’m just dandy. I never knew coming home from uni could be such an adventure.

The term has ended, and Christmas is upon me. I finally got to unpack my Xbox 360 that I won in a competition a month ago. Luck has been upon me it seems ever since I left school 2 years ago.

Lately I’ve been in the mood for making myself a rich man, using the web design skills that have taken me 7 or so years of learning in my own time to acquire. I wonder if I really need to continue learning at uni, whether I should just jack it all in and concentrate on making it happen.

The stories of some of the richest men in recent history have inspired me, for better or worse…

  • Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University to pursue software development working out of a garage.
  • Steve Jobs, founder of Apple computer and the man behind the iPod, dropped out of college after one semester.
  • Shawn Fanning quit college at 19 to create a music download site called Napster. A year later it was worth £42 million.

Other dropouts of note include, but are not limited to:

  • Richard Branson
  • Michael Dell
  • Henry Ford

I’ve got to wonder, am I doing the right thing?

That Is Big

Holy. Shit.
