I recognise myself in your story. I took off with a backpack before the ink had dried on my last exam paper. I look back on those years now, 15 years later, and wish I'd had the courage to walk off earlier. In retrospect, it's obvious to me that everything I learned at university I learned in year 1. The remaining years were simply "finishing what I started" because a "degree is good to have."

We're all different, and we all get different things from formal education. If it's not for you, do your future self a favour and don't waste the time.
