I feel you're mistaken on all three counts here.

1) She was productive. She just wasn't productive at being a college student.

2) She doesn't sound like she was being entertained. She sounded like she was handling logistics and leadership roles with great competence. To me, what I hear is "job satisfaction", except without pay. That's not entertainment.

3) Needing to entertain yourself is an excuse for not graduating. Probably not a sufficient one, but it's a valid one. Honestly, I think it's more accurate to say she dropped out due to burnout from working effectively two jobs.




You are very right with thinking that some people take WoW leadership in raids, etc. as a job. That's something I overlooked.
