Blue Kitty:
Welcome back man

Jimmy the Squid:
Hey Peanut, good to see you are doing well.

My thoughts on higher education are that for certain fields it's pretty necessary (Psychology for instance) so that you actually know how to do the stuff you need to do. Sometimes it's just so you have a B.something to pad out a resume. Hell I've just finished my Bachelors and I'm looking at another 4 years of postgrad but that (and the exhorbitant pricetag) is the price you pay I suppose. You don't need to go to uni to get a good job and be happy but sometimes you do, if that is what you want.

Follow your dreams, kids (not the ones about riding ice cream donkeys with Dean Martin, the other ones)!

Coreh:
thanks for the words of encouragement, peeps!
i quit uni because my uni's math department shat the bed daily, and i failed the class, i dropped down below the required hours necessary to maintain my federal financial aid, and couldn't pay anymore. i was starting to hate uni life anyway. so i'm back home for a little while, until i can get a job lined up, and i'm gonna start a community college. i was pretty lightened up by chuck's comment, i know a few people who've been really successful after not going to college, so it makes the prospect of not being in uni seem better.

thanks people!

A Wet Helmet:
I dropped out of college after one semester (of which I earned a C, a D, and three Fs) and did absolutely nothing that would raise my standard of living above the poverty line until I was 28.  I'm doing well enough now that there ain't going to be no tax rebate check if you catch my drift. My wife dropped out of tenth grade and is doing just as well as I am.

People tell me I should go back to school all the time and all I can say is "Why?" and "What good would a degree do for me now?".   That's not to say I advocate being a slack-ass when it comes to your education, but you're not doomed to a life of destitute poverty just because you don't have a degree. Provided that you're putting a little effort into your life.

Patrick:
I will never have a doctorate in anything, but I am pretty confident I could do it, snap snap.

I just don't fucking care about anything you can get a PhD in.
