I want to know about the hacker education culture. So have you dropped out of high school? or have you gone to college and graduated with honors?

High school drop out. Did pretty well in school, but fucking hated it. Don't regret dropping out for a second. I learned more during that time than I probably ever will again.

Previous salaries in the last five years $120 - $200K. Currently founder of a startup with $1.25 million funding.

Do not recommend anyone drop out of high school though. That it worked out okay for me is probably the exception rather than the rule.

Don't be a fool - stay in school.

Anyhow, I too dropped out, got my GED and am doing quite well for myself. Any company that has had an issue with my educational background without taking in to consideration that my work experience now fully outweighs educational experience, is a company I just wouldn't want to work for in the first place.
