I am interested in working for 80,000 hours (or other EA orgs :)). However, I think you should know that I am an 18-year-old, who just passed out of high school earlier this year. I am finding university unappealing and I think that it's not the best path for me, at least for now.
I know that you probably would like some experience/some higher ed. I am just writing this in case you have the time and feel like giving me a chance despite this apparent lack. Well, the only thing I can say is that I'm not the most intelligent guy in the room, nor do I have the highest EQ. But, the thing that differentiates me, with full humility, is that I think; and I think different. I treasure this quality/skill and feel like schooling has only dulled it, and I do not wish to be in such an environment any longer.
I feel there are a lot of very obvious, over-looked problems in the world and in EA and I have some thoughts on them. I would like to research/delve deeper into these.
I guess I should give you some credentials so that you take this with a bit more consideration: I am a Non-Trivial finalist (selectivity 361/15,000), I have an offer from King's College London and this is my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pranshul-bohra-00051b213/
I hope you will give me a chance and interview/have a chat with me. I think you might like what you see haha.
