Re: How many people here have dropped out of college? [Re: darklcd]

My worst grade was in my freshman Rhetoric class.  Got a "C".  Req course.  And my "prof" was a fucking wanna-be cowboy "Rhetorician" (self-described).

And fuck yes I finished college. 

Sort of like my roommate when I did my study abroad in England (Hull, of all places :lol:).  He said: "If you're going to do a drug, do it right."  Meaning, don't take a pussy dose.

So, translate that to education--if you're going to do something, do it right.  Not half-assed.

I dropped out of college, my major was boring, and for financial reasons. Im glad i did, b/c it helped me realize what i really needed to be doing with my life.

I did real bad at High School, went to Tech studing IT that fell out so I went to Hospitality, that sucked.

so I entered Uni when I was 21 and yes I dropped out of that.

Worked in a restuarant for a while, went to Japan for a while and decided I needed to go back to Uni.

I'am back now studing double pace three year degree in a year and a half. I'll be halfway through this Nov :laugh:

jew, are you asking this because you're thinking of dropping out? probably wouldn't be the best idea man.. unless you have something else seriously planned out and not just some half-assed idea that you'll be better off without college.

finishing school with a shitty gpa is better than not finishing at all. that's like the only fact that's remotely driving me right now.

I did half a semester at a community college in 05, and had to drop my classes and leave town due to my father dying, he was the funding. I plan on returning this spring semester to get an associates in electronics, union job with the railroad I hope in the next 3 years.

Why did you do it?


Burned out, system was shutting down. Stress-related intestinal disease, colitis, something like that. When I got within a year of graduation my appetite basically disappeared. I went to the ER ataxic one time. The nurse thought I had a neurological problem when she saw my hand shaking.

Nope, I'm healthier now than I was when I started college.

What did you do instead?


I am starting a mush farm capable of 200lbs of King Oyster and 200lbs of blue oyster every week. I also got a PT job at UPS for insurance.

I won't go back to my old school, my profs didn't know about my health problems. I heard it through the grapevine they think I'm lazy, etc. I also moved several hours away from that town as well. UPS offers tuition reimbursement and other programs. I can get an associates in Business Administration in one of those programs. At this point my self-education is appreciating faster than any degree I could have gotten or will get in the future.

I haven't dropped out of college, but I think about it often. The people I go to school with are idiots and the professors dumb down the curriculum. It's painfully boring.

I dropped out of high school when I was 15, passed the GED test shortly after, began community college at 19. Going to school long enough to be able to do something I like is what keeps me motivated. That, and I know what the only jobs out there are for high school graduates. They aren't pretty.

Quit High School.
I have regreted it some, but for the most part not at all. Just miss being around peers.
Went straight to work in construction. Found a good company and stuck with it. School isn't for everyone.

Yeah man fuck dropping out.

As much as I hate the monotony of my day to day activities its much better than doing some bullshit dead ended job for the rest of my life.

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.


by asking if you were serious I ment do you actually believe that going to college is only good for supporting a capitalist society? if so thats pretty far off. you can basically go to school for anything and a big chunk of those dont have to do with free market capitalism.

I went to one year of college but dropped out when I realized I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to study. And besides, all I was doing was partying (and wasting a lot of money to do it at school). I knew I could make good money in constuction in the meantime while I figured it out (I always had a construction job, even through High School).

Two decades later and I'm still in construction. For a short time in my mid-20s I flirted with the idea of going back to school since I had figured out something that kind of interested me, but by then I saw the potential future I had in construction and was really enjoying my trade. So I stuck with it and its always been a good fit for me. I make a good living and I've always enjoyed what I do so theres nothing to regret.

I am an engineering student and currently work for a plumbing company and know a lot of people in the skilled trade business that make far more money than people with degrees. Many people would look down at this and also say that the people who make good money in construction have done it all their life, well that is the complete opposite.

Really it all boils down to whatever you find yourself compelled to do. If you like the fact that you work hard physically for your money and make a BIG difference(construction) for others(doctors) to help people with sickness and special needs out, that is what you should do, but on the other hand if you like to work hard in life with your degree behind a desk then do absolutely that.

So if anyone tells you that you have to go to college to be anything; unless you're that ONE success story, then they are completely WRONG. I plan on finishing college and continue working in construction. The sad thing is that I might not make as much money as some of the plumbers that I work with as an engineer, but I also like designing my own plans and watching my work turn into an art.
