Hi Tasaio,

Can't help you out with your legal questions since I'm in the US.

I was just wondering what you have been studying since dropping out. (BTW, I read a great book that said instead of referring to "dropping out" you can think of it as "rising out" LOL.) Is it still math and computers? Are you through advanced calculus and diff eq? What programming languages are you proficient in?

I have a cousin who is very gifted in math and programming and he made pretty good money tutoring. Also you could look into getting freelance programming jobs, or even volunteer, as you may learn more programming from doing actual projects. Or start developing your own IP and start your own software business.

I don't think college is for everyone, but it might be nice to start figuring out how to monetize your passion sooner rather than later, and I'm sure your parents will be more supportive if you have a plan for becoming self-supporting.

Also, while you are living with your parents, neither attending school or paying rent, for goodness sake please try and contribute as much as possible to the family. Be considerate of letting them know your comings and goings and offer to help with cleaning and repairs and things. I don't know your situation, but young adults can sometimes be pretty inconsiderate and unappreciative of their parents which can lead to strained relationships.

Good luck!
