How many people here have dropped out of college?
    #7479187 -

Why did you do it?
Do you now regret it?
What did you do instead?
If you are still fairly young (even if you're not), what are your plans for the future? Go back? Find another way to start a career?

A lot of people I have talked to from the shroomery are college drop outs. Seems to be the majority of the people here.

I dropped out of college to move where my parents moved to go work at a restaurant my dad was opening. Unfortunately, the plans fell through and I got stuck in the middle of the bayou:thumbdown:. I came here with nothing, ive been here for nine months and I basically still have nothing. I figured my dad opening the restaurant would be a way for me to have a successful future without having to complete school.

Now I work six days a week as a fry cook at a restaurant down the road, though I cant complain much, they pay very well and its by far the best place ive ever worked. I absolutely regret dropping out now that the restaurant didnt open. I left my home, my friends and my social life behind :frown:. I'll be 21 in December and im planning on staying here until then. By that time I should have enough money to get myself a car and get back home, where my parents still own a house, and live there and go to a tech school.

I work with a guy that, before working where we work now, worked at Waffle House for 15 years! Are you fucking kidding me! He's my inspiration for getting my ass back to school. That and I just dont think I could do the whole fry cook thing for the rest of my life.

I am a faker. Pretending along.

He must have a doctorate in de waffles. Yeah dude once you've had enough shitty jobs for a while you begin to appreciate being in school and what it can do for you. OR just be an entrepreneur with a shit ton of ambition, they do well for themselves

I dropped out of high school at 15 in 9th grade. Went to community college on and off after I turned 19. I must have 'dropped out' at least three times. That is, I dropped all my classes with no intention of going back.

Then when I was about 23/24 I realized that I need to do something and stick with it to get what I wanted out of life. Pizza driving and waiting tables are great sources of income but, of course, it not what you want to do for 40 years. I then found a major that suits me perfectly, and have kept with it since. I now love what I do and am looking forward to 6 more years of grad school.

College isnt for everyone for sure... but just because you drop out (even more then once) doesn't mean you need to kiss education goodbye forever. God bless America (or any other nation that supports adult education).

I didn't go to college in the first place, because I figured I could spend my life doing something productive for me and society, not capitalism.

Dead serious, and it's the best choice I've made thus far. I'm not in debt so people don't have shit on me.
