Ask HN: Would you rather get a degree or launch a startup?
For the last few years, I was enrolled at the university. Some stuff I've learned was useful, but most of the subjects are boring, and I didn't pass a lot of the exams lately. I've got a job I like, but I don't earn as much as I want, and I'd really love to launch a startup. I've got few ideas, some of which could be successful. Unfortunately, I haven't got the initial budget for this. If I continue working, and studying, I won't make enough money for the startup, so I'm kind of stuck. If I drop the university, I would have to pay bigger taxes, leave the dorm for a more expensive room, renew my visa, etc. so I will have even less money, which means this isn't a solution either. If I manage to find a better job, I won't earn much more than now, without a bachelor degree.
What can HN suggest me? Did anybody here overcome such situations?
