Is dropping out of college a bad idea?
Hi, i am thinking about dropping out of college. First of all, i hate the college that i go to. I am behind in school, and i change major once, but i still dont know much about my new major. I would change major again, but i dont know what i want to do. I done good in school when i change major, but that is because i cheated and my friends gave me their hw. I skip class before, and when i do go to class, i dont care about what i am learning. I hate doing homework, studying, reading, and taking exams/quizzes. I sometime dont give a ****. I want to do work in a store and do some kind of business. I work at a convenience store for part-time and i like it. My parents wants me to graduate and get a degree no matter what. I understand that if you get a degree, you get a good job and make good money, but it doesnt matter if you work in a company or a store because if the business is not good and if time is tough, people will get laid out. I really dont care if i dont make alot of money if i work in a store and do business. I am in no rush of moving out and getting marry. What do you guys thinks? If you have any suggestion, please let me know.
Should I drop out of college?
I currently have a 1.786 GPA and trying to get back in by following the dean's instructions. However, I am seriously considering leaving school completely. I'm still debating whether or not to waste my parents' money or try to keep going even though I'm afraid I might fail again in the future. Any thoughts or comments or advice would be appreciated greatly.
What happens if you drop out of college?
Here's the thing. If you drop out of college, my advice would be to start finding some sort of job, immediately. There is a guy who I work with (at a convenience store) and he's younger than me, 20 I believe and he's a manager there and for the store that it is, it's "okay" money. Of course he has the opportunity to move up in position. If you are willing to do something like that then by all means go for it. Trust me, I'm in college right now and I'm not enjoying it too much. It's not my major I dislike, it's having to be tested and failing no matter how much I study. I've gotten too many D's than I'd like to admit, and I have to repeat courses. It's discouraging and I want to quit too but what will happen if I do quit? You aren't a failure. School isn't for everyone. It isn't for me either but I'm toughing it out. I can't stand it but it will help eventually, when I want to find a better job. Your life won't be over if you drop out. But it might be a little more difficult to get a better paying job. Unless you decide to take a risk and open your own business which is a real possibility and you make it off well! It could happen. But you aren't a failure, I assure you. That kid at my job isn't a failure. He's enjoying his life.
I want to drop out of college?
I honestly can't take it any more. I just can't do it. I feel like I am wasting so much time. I hate how all of the stupid little details matter, even though we all know that we are going to forget them anyway. It is so frustrating. I am intelligent. If I wanted to compete for a 4.0, I could. But I have no desire to. I just want to get out of here. I don't like what I am studying. I want to see the real world. I know I sound naive, but I don't really care. Right now I am in my first year and I have a 3.3 from one of the top schools in the world, but I don't want to do this. I don't ever go to class. I know that is ungrateful and selfish and stupid, but I REALLY DONT CARE. I want to get out of here now. What do you think?
Is dropping out of college for the military worth it?
To avoid confusion, I know that college is the smartest thing anyone can do. SO ANYWAY. I am just about to finish my first year in college. Making friends wasn't really the hard part, I have an apartment lined up for next year, so it's not that I am lonely. Ever since my senior year in high school, I contemplated on what joining the military would be like for me (I come from a long line of military officers). Although at a young age I rejected the idea, as I grow and learn, it feels like something I may just be destined to do. I know that college is worth the all the bull****, but in my heart I feel like when I have kids of my own I won't be able to say anything for myself besides I make a lot of money and partied my *** off. This sounds awesome, but attending college just reenforced that living life in a classroom just doesn't seem worth it. If I dropped out, I could always come back. Plus, at least I will be making money, right? Should I just say **** it, and follow my gut?
How do you decide if you should drop out of college?
I posted this answer to the question I’m a computer science student who hates school. I’ve yet to learn a single new thing from any of my classes. Should I drop out of college? What are your thoughts? I spent three years in college before I dropped out. I played college basketball my first two years of school and it was the biggest reason why I wanted to go to college in the first place. Going into my junior year I was cut from the team. Things started to change.I no longer had any clue of why I was in school. I learned more about myself that year than I ever had. This was November, and I had already taken out all my loans for school that year, so I decided I would use the rest of the year to make a solid decision. I spent the entire year, going to class, working a part time job as a prep cook, and going right back to my apartment. I did not want to be seen by anyone. I was embarrassed to show my face any more than I had to.As the year went on I tossed around the idea of dropping out. It motivated me. I realized going to college was slowly turning me into everybody else, but I wanted to be different. At class I wrote down what the professors told me what was right (its funny taking history and archaeology classes when your professor acts like they were there and they KNOW what happened) and on the side I wrote what I disagreed with and I would research it later.I learned that I did not want to go through life letting someone else decide what was right and wrong. I had made the decision that as the year ended I was going to drop out, but I wasn't going to screw myself over in case later in life I decided to go back.That's exactly what I did. I spent the year regurgitating what my professors uttered to me, and I made the Dean's List both semesters. No way in hell did I ever go to those stupid Dean's list dinners, where 'smart' kids get to act like they are better, celebrating with a meal of 'fancy cafeteria food'.I'm not sure how many Dean's list dropouts are out there, but I haven't met one yet. But damn, does it feel good to be one.That's who I am, a dropout, and I own it. After leaving school I backpacked Mexico and Central America for 4 months, before coming home to where I am now starting my own online business.I have no experience, no degree, and I'm extremely in debt. I'm destined to fail, and that's why I'm going to succeed.
Should I drop out of college to join the Air Force?
I am currently a freshman in college, I have no idea what i want to be, the only thing i know for sure is that i like science, but i am required to take classes that i am struggling in, I don't feel motivated to ask for help and every time i go to school i feel as though i am dragging my self there. I can never concentrate in class, it just seems as though I'm wasting my time and money. The air force attracts me because i want to see the world and not be stuck in a job i hate, doing the same thing every day, for the rest of my life. I'm just in general sick of school I've been doing it for 12 years of my life and i want to do something adventurous with my life.
When is it time to drop out of college?
We still have homework in college? Wow.Anyway, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of dropping out.Pros,Saves you a lot on debt, which you can use for something else.You now have plenty of time to pursue whatever you feel like doing.You can take risks. Since you are young, it probably won’t be much of an issue.Most of the stuff taught at school are already outdated. You can create your own timetables. And learn things you want to learn.Cons,May not be easy to get a job. There are an overload of people with degrees as interview candidates. Why should they even look at you when you don’t even have a degree?You see the successes of college dropouts. You don’t see the failures of the rest, because no one knows them.This is culture specific. Someone without a college degree might have less status quo than the one with a degree.Dropping out of college might give the wrong impression that you are not even good enough for college (might vary with people).You miss out of an amazing network. Many of your classmates might reach top positions. Having their contacts could potentially change your future.You lose out of all the fun.So make your decision wisely.Good luck!
