Claim: Scottish prodigy Andrew Halliburton with an IQ of 145 dropped out of college and flipped burgers.
It’s true, and the story is 4 years old.
According to the Mirror, Andrew Halliburton’s math teachers saw a bright future for the young genius. After only six months of college, he soon found himself a drop-out, earning minimum wage at a burger establishment.
He told the Mirror: “I feel frustrated. I don’t really know what I want to do with my life. I’ve felt like that for the last four years. What I do is OK but I don’t feel challenged with my work, though I’m fairly content with my life. I think I might study English.”
Andrew claims that he dropped out because he was “bored” and required to study things he already knew.
