Dropped out of graphic design college after 1 semester, decided to go more into programming. It was a good decision because I knew what path to take to get to where I am today.

Don't just drop out for the sake of dropping out. And also which level of education are you talking about?

I was talking more about something like high school, but your story is inspiring anyway :)

Stay in high school and have a plan when you hit 18. I would advise against dropping out of high school underage because it leads to more problems than solutions. Cherish the time where you don't have to work for a living and use it to learn and improve your future.

Don't drop out of high school. It's a bad idea.
