Should I drop out of college?

there are better options than the typical college student making 50k most of their life and going 40k+ in debt to get there..

but that means you will likely need to exceed in sales (great work ethic and practice your craft), military (eventually leads you back to school, but less debt), or start your own business (requires an insane work ethic)...

or get a degree worth a damn and stay in school....

military is a good option.. it'll allow you time to mature, reanalyze your priorities and find out what skills may translate into a field you'll enjoy, and you'll receive help to pay for college..

but if you go into the military, learn to do one thing, follow a budget.. you don't need 15 cars all tricked out to appeal to women in a military town that only ask you to be a total douche 90% of the time..

Stay in school and finish a degree, any degree. It, and the connections you make, will be worth more than anything else you could be doing with your life right now. Want to join the military? Wait until after you graduate or explore ROTC in college. You'll be better suited and situated to be an officer candidate.

If you haven't found your path yet, guess what? That's what you are in college for... to find that path. Just because it hasn't hit you yet doesn't mean that it isn't in there for you.

Give up now and it's going to be a tough road ahead of you with more people making decisions for your life than you would ever imagine. A degree helps you to decide your worth. No degree means that someone else will do it for you.

As former Army, I say join the military. It will help you get focused and yes, it is a very different lifestyle compared to college.

I don't know what type of person you are but the Air Force has it pretty much dicked when it comes to good duty and not a lot of stress as far as the PT goes. Plus you can still go to school while you are in because it's more like a 9 to 5 job as opposed to going to the field or training (my favcorite parts).

Might help your perspective on life, too.

or,

drop out and sell drugs.....

Strange question to ask on the huddle, but my son is in college now...which I and his mother are paying for. So I'll answer the question as if this were my kid and I having the conversation you are going to have at some point:

My Son: I don't think I want to stay in school, it's hard and I just don't have any interest in anything...what do you think I should do (translated can I come home)

Me: You are a grown man and you have the right to make any decision you choose, just be aware that with choices there are consequences (translated: hell no, you can't come home and I am using your college money to fix up my media room)

My Son: My friends have dropped out and done quite well for themselves, maybe I can be successful as well (translated please let me come home)

Me: Really, what's your definition of successful? Do any of they own their own homes, Have a steady, stable job, pay their own bills, own their cars, or do they spend all of their money on things they like beer, women, clothes, etc...(translated the only way you are coming home is paying your own way)

My Son: uh, I guess so.. translated what does this have to do with me coming home

Me: Well, in order for you to be considered successful, you need to be sure that you are capable of providing all of those things, so how do you plan on doing that? translated, you better be prepared to take care of yourself if you drop out.

My Son: I don't know, I really don't have a plan

The jist of what I am saying here is you don't have a plan now and are in school still under the care of your parents. Should you choose to leave school you will still not have a plan but more than likely will not be under the care of your parents. This will present to you a whole series of problems you are not yet prepared to handle. Stay your azz in school, grow up and stop whining..you have an opportunity, take advantage of it

College is like a 4 year vacation.....you just don't realize it until you are 30. Who doesn't like vacation?

where else can you get drunk 4-5 nights a week routinely yet no one suggests you have a problem....I mean it's college. Also, college is the prime era of your life to enjoy young hot firm females.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
