I have a masters in geology & a BS in Physics. Both by the time I was 17. For me HS was behind me when I was 14. Anyone who can't finish it is a complete dumbass. If it bored you that much....why didn't you finish early? Could have. I was skipped ahead when I was in the 6th grade. However, to finish HS and have what? I know of several people who were very creative that didn't bother with finishing a process that had little meaning for them. I also dodged an MSEE that was going to be granted with little learning in back of it. According to U Berkeley, I was the top student in their toughest undergraduate class in EE. I was on a full salary scholarship for the MS. The classes were a disaster with profs in a panic about the publish or perish. After 9 months of that farce I dropped out of that as well. Yeah I don't have the piece of paper that says MSEE, but from what I saw at Berkeley at that time I can't find any value in that piece of paper either.

I think it might be near Akron. -- Cliff
