> If you were 20 years old today, what would you be doing?
* exercise (gym, sports, whatever I enjoyed but got me moving)
* go into engineering, comp. sci., or statistics instead of physics
--> main thing is choosing a discipline with solid job prospects in a variety of locales while also aiding me in my pursuit of bootstrapped projects
* go to hacker meetups, democamps, diy clubs
* work on more personal projects
* find like-minded people that have personal projects (see going to hacker meetups, democamps, diy clubs)
* have fun with friends
As an aside: my experience is that a good deal of students in B* programs feign being smarter than they actually are. It's usually not until towards the end of a B* program that students realize how little they actually know. If you're looking for partners in the second group look for people who are clever and genuinely curious (about life, people and how things work). (where * is A, Comp., Sc., Eng., etc)
