Tuition is what’s stopping me from going to college right now in the USA (I’m 21).

I’ve been in the startup world since high school, and my hope was to make at least enough money to pay for college.

Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy startups, consulting startups, and technology; That’s my dream, and I’m doing it now. I’m not really looking for a career changing opportunity to arise from college, rather, I would like to use the opportunity to learn about other things that interest me.
