Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to start Microsoft.
Steve Jobs dropped out of college to find his opportunity.
It seems that those with true drive do not have the time or patience for the ridged structure and narrow minded progression of institution.

Playing in a "grid" 9:10 makes things repetitive, that's what makes music boring at times. BUT, music should be a little catchy and have a structure to be memorable
