| I've decided to drop out of college, and this time I'm not going back. Sure, some people might think I'm an idiot for doing this, but that's their opinion. I just don't see any reason why I should go there (or in my case, refuse to), get terrible grades, fail my classes and not be able to do what I want to. What am I gonna do instead? Well, I'm still not quite sure, all I know is that I'm gonna have to start from scratch and work my way up, just like everyone else, and I have a feeling that I might turn out to be at least a little bit proud of myself from time to time if I manage to do this. | |

It wasn't until college that I actually had to go back through some of my high school courses I slept through like Pre-Algebra.
I went for Computer Information Systems but the lessons learned were obsolete three days after graduation.
I'd aim for something that you already have an interest in or knack for. =) |

I dropped out in 2000. I was happier and more relaxed without the added pressure. Do what's good for you! |

I know it's not necessary, but it does give you an advantage when you're out jobhunting

I don't really know if you could say that I'm gonna start looking for a job now, more like... try to just do my own thing

Ugh, when I finished high school, I said never again aobut school, and now, after giving college two chances, I'm saying the same again.

Maybe so, but my mom never went to college and when she has a job she gets good money, compared to even my friends' parents who did go to college. |

I guess you just have to look for the right jobs, or make a pretty good first impression and know what you're doing |

Yeah, she was a computer programmer and is a business analyst now so that does help. |
