> I learn things so fast and I have no tolerance for fakery/bullshit.
Same. I learn rapidly. I can read a book and know the subject better than graduate students. I had a hard time in college because social anxiety and low tolerance for stupidity.

I struggled until I found something I could do that was interesting and didn’t need a degree.

Other tech careers that don’t require a degree:
Data science
Quality secure coder
AI/ML


EDX.org has some excellent classes for cheap.
