I'd been going to college for nine years, and before I completed my dissertation, I quit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Too many years away from academia renders you pretty incompetent at research and teaching. So I had to go back.
After my health suffered due to the stress of running my second company, I had to switch careers. But I still didn't want to go back to the corporate world. So I became an academic.
I quit college. I was studying architecture for about a year.
I tried college and I hated that. I seem to quit everything I do.
I didn't want to go to college or work in an office or have a nine-to-five job. I knew that quite clearly before I left school.
Well, that was in 1995 when I resigned from my last academic job.
All my life, I just felt that I should have finished my education.
It ended up taking eight years to finish college because I got deployed and went overseas.
I went to college for four years.
Everyone I went to school with went to university, or took a year off and then went, and that was the norm - so I did the same thing.
