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.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
