I attempted to graduate High School about 4 years early (had all the academic credits). The authorities gave me one option: go to college. I did, for a semester, hated it, so quit school entirely. Got a job, taught myself programming, and that was that. I was in Mensa for awhile (hated that, too), but met an educator there who was moved by my story and convinced the school system that having me as a dropout reflected more poorly on them than on me, so though I didn't GO to High School, I did GRADUATE with my class.
