Yep. One of the greatest decisions I ever made.
Always funny seeing my friends complain about student debt and people getting their jobs without degrees.
Sorry you got suckered into wasting money at a time when knowledge is more accessible than ever.
I dropped out too. It was in no way one of the greatest decisions I ever made. It lead to a series of shitty, dead-end jobs and I'm only lucky my wife has two masters degrees and can always support us. But I'm ashamed that she has to bear a much larger chunk of our expenses than I ever had to.
I pity the life of the guy who's bragging about dropping out of college. If that's one of your greatest decisions, life must absolutely suck but you likely don't even grasp why or how it would have been improved by university training.
I guess this is what they mean when they say ignorance is bliss.
I'm sorry you can't accept that people have done better than you without going to college.
Lol seems like you're doing really well for yourself...
Yep. Better than most of the people around me.
"Insecure" is an awfully big word for a college dropout who couldn't afford a degree.
