How many of you are currently full time college students?
- Thread starter ALffiliate
- Start date
Sorry, didn't read the rest of this thread but as someone who dropped out and came back to school (part time), I thought I'd summarize my thoughts:
#1.) I came back because I miss being part of the community that I lived in, mostly. Being a full time AM really isolates you with what's going on (if you're like me and sit at the computer all day). Before this I was involved in a fraternity as well as student government. I thought I'd be able to keep up my contacts in both those institutions but once you're out, you're out, really.
#2.) A degree can't hurt. I'm already more than half way done and I figured I might as well finish it. I will obviously try less as hard as I used to be and I am taking less classes, but at least I won't feel like I've wasted ALL of my time here. And I'm flirting with the idea of paying someone to take classes for me.. now that's outsourcing!
#3.) Party party party.

I'm not enjoying college, probably because I commute.
If I didnt have one year left, I'd drop out. Everything except accounting classes has been a colossal waste of time.
The UC I go to doesnt even have a Marketing class. Fail.

I graduated a few months ago from High School, taking a year off, then going to get my Advanced Diploma of Business (Marketing) next year sometime.
Just a guess. I commute there also. What are you majoring in? I'm a 4th year soc major. I regret going here because it seems like there isn't shit to do here aside from going to class. The classes I find to be very interesting and the professors are great but not much else. All the students seem to be in their own fucking world over here lol.
Currently enrolled in full time college but I literally have to force myself to go. Im just like the post above, its hard to sit in a classroom when you know the moneys out there but your stuck in a classroom learning completely useless bullshit. I should hit $10k a month within 4months and when i do im dropping out for sure, not for facebook though
Just finished a 4 year Utoronto Engineering degree - didn't really go to class. Had a lot of fun, but only started trying to make moniez last semester (trying to get into some networks now after months of grinding out SEO/Amazon/CommJunct.).
University really opened my eyes to the whole world of academia though, cause I did my best to chill with just about everyone from every major. BUT 4 YEARS?! Too long for those who end up just sticking to undergrad instead of pursuing Masters/Ph.D./++
99% of the lectures are a waste of time, and 95% of the students were pretty boring. You just gotta do split testing between new friends at uni, weed out the negative/whiners/jeremiahs and keep the great ones
Undergrad is more for meeting people - I imagine business majors find this to be the case even earlier.

I think the university experience depends on the person. If you're incredibly brilliant and believe your time will be better spent elsewhere than a four year degree probably wouldn't be for you.
Ironically enough, most people who don't go the traditional secondary school route think they fall into that top echelon of people too smart in business for school.
If you're an autodidact and willing to accept the consequences of not having that parchment then take a crack at it, you can always go back and get one later.
I dropped out of my University's four year college program and I'm doing its extension program on a part time basis... And seriously? I'm only doing it just to be challenged intellectually (that's the unfettered Veritas). I'll never have to work for someone else, but knowledge for knowledge's sake is empowering (not the degree).

Graduated from college, 4 days ago ! engineering exactly automatics and robotics - and I don't see my future there. It took my too long to realize its not for me although I was one of the best on my year.
But i must say it is useful - when you start to thinkg like an engineer and see patherns, calculate, you can also have some clases about web design and it will profit later for you, my advice if you just want to end it like I did but later you want to move to something else focuse in things that might help you - like web designing if you gona have something like that.
From the next semester I will start marketing or something connected to advertisment.
I don't make big money yet couse I didn't have time yet to make it full time job. Its realy poor right now around $70 on a monthly base, but its passive reccuring income. Now i have time so its gonna be much better
