[Debate] Ever Thought Of Dropping Out?

[Luther]

Has anyone here ever taught of dropping out of high school or college or did anyone drop out? If so why and what were the challanges you faced? Did you dropout to pursue a passion eg music dancing etc?

 

[A Dolla Make Ya Holla]

dropped out of two uni programs just to go to the final one i'm in

it's something i debated heavily, but i was never in the right state of mind to begin with, so it was an inevitable choice

 

[V h o]

No not really. Although Biology has made me question my entire educational road so far, and my overall "intelligence"......

i dropped out so i could do drugs because all the kids said it was cool, and now i am a member of NB dont do drugs and stay in school kids or you may end up looking like ME!

 

[Corgi]

Nah, never thought of it. I have big dreams, y0.

only considered it because i can make it out with the stock market alone

Be sure you got a good back up because if it crashes your screwed

I thought about dropping out until I realized I could still pursue what I wanted while staying in school. Not only that, but college provides so many tools and people that it's bound to help you rather than hurt you. Just go and either major in something that is similar to what you want (which can be awesome), or something that will provide you with a job to support your passion until your passion is what's making the money.

I dropped out of college because of the condescending nature of everyone around me, it wasn't a good atmosphere. It's this world renowned music school, and everyone was so douchey.

It's worked out for me, **** school. You aren't guaranteed anything in this life and college gives you the illusion that you are.

------->IMO<-------​

But I've also seen it work out for a lot of people. Different strokes you know.

It's crossed my mind. A friend from here and I used to joke about dropping out and living under a bridge. I'd never do it, I understand the importance of education.

 

[slayerdanger]

Yes, I have, and I see no problem with it either. School takes time and money, and sometimes you don't want to deal with that.

It's worked out for me, **** school. You aren't guaranteed anything in this life and college gives you the illusion that you are. I still had the same jobs as everyone who went to college without completing it.

Why didn't you just transfer?

OT: Yes, I have, but no I did not go through with dropping out. The only reason that's keeping from dropping out is the fact that I already started and have loans to pay off.

I dropped out my senior year cuz I decided school wasn't for me. Multiple reasons. I own my business now anyway so I'm good lol

 

[petealex]

scored 99th percentile on some sections of my ACT, overall score 28; i dropped out senior year. dropped out of 3 colleges and unis throughout the years since then. my advice: don't ****ing do it.

Man, I feel the same way about the Child Development (psychology) class I'm taking right now in college...

 

[Murasame]

I actually dropped out of college recently due to financial problems but I'm going back once I'm financially ready. Honestly though.. I wonder if spending all the time there is worth it. I wonder if I can get by just as fine without college.

 

[Cunning Linguist]

Nah. It was never hard enough. Just a pain sometimes. But life isn't really any better than school

 

[-Punk-]

Yes and I did and meh .......... I got my GED, took a break from college as well and now I'm back studying, sometimes the time is not right for you, it didn't affect me in life anyways .

I agree with my man Stx as well.

Well the whole aspect kind of turned me off, I felt like I was paying a shit load of money to not really learn anything mind blowing. Then if I did graduate I'd have to pay even more money to pay back the money I borrowed. And now it's the standard to have a college degree, if everyone has one you aren't at really at any more of an advantage than others when looking for a job.

Plus everyone I've ever worked with went to college or had a degree in something. My first job was delivering lunches and every other driver there had degrees. One even had a masters in education but had to work two jobs to pay off his student loans. It just didn't seem like the route for me.
