Should I drop out of college?


Grammer

Recommended Posts

Hi, this is kind of an embarrassing subject for me to talk about with people I know in real life, because I come from a close knit community were everyone who isn't college educated is looked down upon (a guy I knew dropped out because he had a passion for firefighting and wanted to pursue that, yet everyone made fun of him for it), so I've turned to anonymous huddlers for help (God help me?)

Anyway, long story short: my second year of college is slowly drawing to a close and yet I have no career choice chosen yet. To be honest, I have absolutely no passion for anything in college. Like, I know that in todays day and age, there are very few college degrees that can net you good jobs, others are being outsourced, and the rest are simply worthless. It just seems to me that I'm wasting my time and money doing something that I honestly don't like, yet by societal pressures I'm doing anyway. My grades are slipping due to me growing more and more apathetic towards school. In fact, the reason I started this thread was because I just grew so frustrated with a class that is now basically a lost cause.

Sorry if this post seems kind of, uh, delirious because I did not get any sleep last night and I am completely exhausted. I'm honestly sick of school, but it's just basically the only path my high school and community put me on so I really don't know what to do.

what college u at?

how many credits do u have left?

edit: see you are a sophmore

dropping out will not make the job search any easier. Try changing majors or transferring. Maybe join some clubs/social goups/intermurals to get your morale up.

slamming some sorostitutes never hurt, either.

yeah, I've thought about the military multiple times, it does seem like an interesting lifestyle and it would definitely help me mature a hell of a lot more when I got out. cwg i know you were in the navy, but do you know if there are any major differences between navy life and army life?

I got an uncharacterized discharge from the coast guard during my first few days of basic, or I could tell you more. What I do know is that with my 92 ASVAb I was going to have my choice of location and job, and cape may is cold in october. Also, recruiters lie. Mine told me my food allergy was no big deal, and its what got me sent home. Do homework before signing up.

I assume you mean IT jobs? If so then that is completely false. It might have been true 5-10 years ago but definitely not today. Sure, tech support is still going overseas and certain positions like QA, but there has been a huge push to revert the mistakes of the last decade in software development and bring things back to the US. I'm a 7 year java developer and I get at least one job offer every other day, most days I get 2 or 3.

You got to figure out for yourself what you want to do but you should have all the facts. The way it sounds you have your degree paid for(community of college educated folks) so that's not something to just throw away. You're not selecting a career, you're simply selecting a degree. Everything will be much different 10 years from now.

In the Navy you don't have to camp out and march in the mud and that was one of my major goals. There are more technical things to do as well IMHO. Also in the Navy the chances of someone shooting at you are less which I considered a plus. On the minus side if someone shoots at you while you are in a submarine your survival chances are about zero.

military is a good option..

most college students end up with an average job and go 40k+ in debt, there are better options than they have made.. but those options usually involve: a desire to stay in school and find a field that is actually worth going into debt for or will have to be good at sales with a great work ethic.. or have a solid idea to become an entrepreneur and incredible work ethic (workaholic)..

college isn't for everyone, and there COULD be better options, but if you don't have work ethic/social skills/go-getter mentality, you might as well join the military if you really hate school..

which is still going to require you to go to school eventually, but may give you a little time to mature and get your priorities straight..

just my 2cents, which I think is pretty accurate.. ;)

go navy man nothing in the world beats being out to sea. Also when your ship is at its home port its pretty much like a regular job with a guaranteed paycheck. You go to work at around 7 and go home at like 4 or 5. bootcamp is a joke with the navy as well all i did was fold clothes, stamp poo, march and exercise 3 times a week. The first 2 days in bootcamp sucked thoa.

So do you have a idea of what you want to do for a career? Military is a good place to go if you dont know what you want to do. But try to do a job in there that you like. I know the Army will let you pick a career as long as you have the scores for it. Served 4 years it wasnt bad but knew it wasnt for me. Good thing with the military is the GI BIll and VA loan program so if you ever get out. You can finish scool and buy a house. You can also take courses while in and they will pay 75% of the tuition.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
