Are you sure? I mean by about 5th or 6th grade, we'd all been taught that we needed to go to university to be successful. I for sure wanted to go to university!
I tried going to university twice, straight after high school and then again ~8 years later, flunked out for different reasons each time, and realized that it's not even going to improve my career, at least now that I don't want to move to the US for work anymore anyway. So adult me has realized I could've started doing more programming earlier instead of even going to high school, and probably I'd be more successful. But kid me was super excited about university, and so were most of my peers.
This varies so much. I know I got bored as hell in most classes. The problem with analog textbooks is that you can read ahead, there's no lock saying "You can't open this chapter until next week". The problem with ADHD (in my case) is that you get super bored by the slow pace of class. End result is you run out of curriculum way before everyone else, and at that point it's watching the clock, playing games on your phone, or socializing. Watching the clock is also boring. Leaves phone or socializing.
Besides, my curious ass spent half the phone time on games, half the time on reddit, and half the time on Wikipedia reading about things I found on reddit. Yes, three halves. I don't know, I was never good at managing time. Somehow everything takes more and less than expected.
