Natural ability only goes so far, and the willingness or love of learning is worth more than any degree you could possibly get.
I dropped out of highschool as a sophomore but I always loved science and education. I spent hours and hours just browsing tidbits on the web, mostly linked to science channels like CodysLab, Vsuace Veritasum etc.
When I got my GED I scored college proficient or earned college credits in every subject (cept math).
Never stop seeking knowledge
