I've taken time off, and dropped out. But I'm back in school now.

I'm thinking of finishing instead of dropping out.

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?


Dropped out frist semester, to do more drugs. Regret it everyday, aND LOOK forward to the day I can go back when Im clean and become an AODA counselor of some sort 10 years down the road.

I did three years of electrical engineering at college.

It would have been a two year course, except one of the tutors quit due to alcoholism, a new one wasn't found untill july, so I lost out on a year then, who was a drunk but found jesus to be a lot cheaper.

After three years I learnt that 415v+booze do not mix well and that MCB's are your friend (Micro circuit breakers saved my life). My classmates where either dole cheats who did the course as it was free, or junkies, or both. Back then I really liked booze.

I didn't want to do electrical engineering, despite doing really well on the knowledge and practical aspects (when not so drunk or high) I wanted to do mechanical engineering. My dad didn't want me to because he didn't want me to get in the bad crowd. If anything, the mechanical engineering students were all 16 year old school leavers who all had BMW coveralls on, all clean cut, all boring.

I miss those days. Donuts, bud, beer, and I learnt some pretty useful stuff too.

1) I dropped out/didn't get my qualification because the course was canceled, the government subsidy dried out, and my work was lost. There was no sense of urgency there. Half the time was spent working, the other half was spent in the pub.

2) I regret that I'm going nowhere fast. I don't regret not passing.

3) Became self employed building and fixing computers, something I fortunately have a good reputation for as I know what I'm doing, and I do what I know well.

4) Computers doesn't bring me much income. I even got a qualification from cisco which wasn't hard (as my classmates were boring, thus no drugs) and passed with distinctions. I wanted a piece of paper to say "Yes, I can do this" I also wanted to go back to college because it was cheaper than paying rent. My plan is to get qualified as a massage therapist, and offer my service as such. It's not hard, customer satisfaction is good, and the going rate is enough that I can charge £25 per hour.
