I attended a prestigious public university for a year, and dropped out due to financial and family issues. After that, I was the youngest person at a Fortune 50 company, and did Linux administration for them. I hated the bureaucratic corporate environment and became interested in startups and running my own business. I immaturely left my very good job without truly thinking things through to start providing web services to local businesses. It hasn't panned out as well as I would like. After lots of meditation and reflection, I have self-actualized my number one issue, and that is discipline. In order to gain the discipline I need to reach my full potential, I want to engage in an institution(s) that will help me instill the discipline I need to succeed, ideally for a year, although I am definitely open to shorter/longer options. I have read a bit about Hacker School and feel like it is a great fit for me, so I plan to apply for it, but I am in dire need of suggestions (other than finish college. not my cup of tea.) I'm open to anything, job, internship, program, camp, etc. Thank you for taking the time to consider this, I really appreciate it.
