      You become the gigachad who realizes that most of school education is probably not worth the attention, you skip through classes and master things you really enjoy doing in the meantime.

        Then in college realizes that they have the attention span of a 5 year old and have zero discipline to do prep reading before class. Fails the first year and becomes a drop out.

          No that’s not how my story continues. I didn’t buy the “pessimist guide” I bought the “personal resource management” book.

        Not really, I don’t have the discipline to learn web development. My attention span is very low, and I have a bias towards software libraries. I waste most of my time playing around with cool open-source projects. This is why I’m still jobless. Then there’s also shitty, low paying IT jobs, recession and entry-level positions looking for 5+ years of experience.

    This study considers me monolingual since I never learned my second language in a classroom and. I learned it as an adult. So…I guess fluency doesn’t count. Que grosero.

        If you want to really sound like a spanish speaker say it like hijueputas. In english I’d transcibe it like ee-hway-POO-tahs. It sounds way more rude like that.
