    Yeah, I'm going to graduate when I'm 19 because of lack of credits. I think this year I'll be more prepared and stronger than the past few years. My goals are straighter and more realistic that ever before. I know more about the real world than when I used to slosh off in school so I could make flash games, which didn't make me a penny, just childish praise from other kids. I think school is a momentary stress, it can be drunk or smoked away. I don't know what the future holds.

    I think theres two reasons that people drop out of school.
    They don't want to learn*period*
    They want to learn something different

    well, I guess we can't always choose what we're preoccupied with, we just have to be tough, smart and not pussy out. Life it tough, thats how it is:)

    That's an impressive list, but an overwhelming number are those who hit it lucky in show biz. In the real world, as time goes by a college education--or at least completion of a 2 year technical course--is becoming ever more essential.

    I'm a college dropout and wish I had been able to complete my degree, even though I'm now retired and living comfortably. However, the only reason I have an easier life now is because my wife and I relocated to the Philippines and can get by on just our social security. No way could we do that in the U.S. where I was formerly stuck in jobs that I hated but couldn't do better for my lack of a diploma.
