most of the ppl who came up with technological breakthroughs dropped out of something at a point in time in there lives.. Bill gates dropped out of uni.. THe google guys dropped out of there PHDs..

and thats just the technology side.. on the business front theres richard branson (virgin airways) HIGHSCHOOL DROPOUT!.. and the news anchor who died recently.(forgot his name).. also a school drop out. :eek:

So what do you reckon the ratio of Very Successful High School Dropouts : Rather Unsuccessful High School Dropouts is? ( whereby success is a hard thing to measure )

Think of the time frame they dropped out, the status of the economy back then, etc. Things change guys, drop out of school and you will be in a world of hurt.

i went to college in 1997 and proceeded to learn all about acid and mushrooms and marijuana. now i'm paying for it. you are very young and unless your parents are providing indiscriminate financial support then you can tell them to have an ass sandwich and go to hell. point is, at 17 or 18 you don't know what the hell is going on and it's only by sheer luck that you choose an occupation that you like. college comes way too early for a lot of people, and everybody wants to be a psych major. even IF your dad is providing cash-out-the-ass, remember, it's NOT HIS LIFE. also remember that until you turn 23, your financial aid status is dependant on his income.

have fun!

Blood, you're really finding some dead threads, I think, although I HAVE seen responses to threads over three years old!
