I don't know where you guys are from but move the fuck up here to alberta. Starting wage at 711 in Grande Prairie is $14.75/h
and if you're working the rigs you can make tons of cashmoney easy. Out here we're desperate for people, if you can read you can make $100 000 a year easy. That said, I'm still going to college, I don't wanna be a rig pig my whole life.

I probably would have invested in some weed and sold it to them.

Actually Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard during his 3rd year after he had already made considerable accomplishments in the field of Computer Science.

You should only drop out of school when you have a good opportunity in front of you that outweighs the benefit of a good education. Gates had his new computer business, and he accurately accessed the value of his choice between pursuing his business and staying in school. It would be foolish to quit school only to hope that a golden opportunity will just walk up to you. Quit only if you have an opportunity that you believe will untimely be more fruitful than a good education.

or you should drop out of school when you realize that your college career is leading you to a corporate job that youll hate for the rest of your life and youd rather be doing what you love...
