This was amazing. As a professional dropout, I would like to join your organization so that I can immediately quit it.
I have dropped out of college 3 1⁄2 times now, the 1⁄2 time was during Covid when I didn’t quite start the school year before dropping out and deciding to become a homeless vagabond.
I always wanted to become an Ivy League dropout, USC isn’t Ivy League but close enough, it’s way more expensive than most Ivy League schools at least, and now I feel much more confident in whatever I do next. Lots of great entrepreneurs were dropouts from fancy pants schools. I think accomplishment is very closely correlated to dropping out, so just imagine how promising I must be having dropped out such an unusually high number of times.
In all seriousness, I am extremely proud of having dropped out so many times. Each time it was the right decision, and I believe dropping out of things in general when there is a higher expected value option available shows a willingness to kick the sunk-cost fallacy in the pants and follow your dreams. Especially if those dreams include being a homeless Covid vagabond living in a tent in your friend’s backyard.

I would love to learn the art of dropping out from you.
(Just, if possible, could you give me a certificate when I finish learning from you?)
