this guy is a succesful writer.  He apparently writes for ESPN, has written a book and has had columns in the wall street journal.  He never did graduate high school however.  He was a national merit scholar, but he had a 1.7 Grade point average and was kicked out of two different schools.  In one spanish class his average was 4 percentile.  

     So at 33 he quit his job,  this is so counterintuitive,  and has gone back.  not to get his GED, but back to his actual high school as a student.  Like that nightmare you have where you are back in high school even though you graduated a long time ago.

You can follow his progress or lack therof on that blog and twitter.  I think my high school got demolished and despite the feverish protestations of the principal in the nightmare I know I did graduate!
