is someone slapping your wrists when you touch a keyboard? you are not being "held back", if college is easy then all the more time for you to be working on your own projects.
and you seem to have completely missed the point of this article, it is not 20k to work on a project so you dont have to deal with professors / employers.
Its easy in that the coursework is not challenging. There could be busy work, which take time. College work even if easy still takes time. "held back" I guess is not a good way to describe it then. What I mean is that its simply wasting time I could be spending completely on the startup. And yes, I do have lots of time to work on the startup and I do. I don't mean to imply that school is preventing me from working on it. I could have more time if there wasn't school. I could also be saving a lot of money if I don't pay for school.
>it is not 20k to work on a project so you dont have to deal with professors / employers.
But from my perspective that's what it potentially means.
