Stay in college, even with a felony on your record a degree will open doors.

No, I actually think this way of thinking is what keeps this society uneducated and leads us into voting for BUSH as prez.
I believe this is a human writing this to me and not a robot. Therefore, it is a known fact that humans screw up many times in their lives. I can tell that you are not a dumb individual because you are enrolled in college looking for a better future.
Sure you made a mistake that will be on your record for life. THis should motivate you to work harder to achieve great things in life despite this thing you have done.
When applying for a job you should be open and let your potential employer know your situation. If you graduated with honor or have accomplished something great in your life, be sure to share it. Graduating college w/ honors sure gives you bragging rights.
I don't know if its much help, but I do urge you to not drop out. If youre in college then take advantage of it. Don't do it for anyone else but yourself.
Good luck in any move you decide to make.

FINISH SCHOOL!
You've got four years of school ahead of you and most applications want to know if you've been convicted of a felony with the last three years. What does that tell you, bubba?
It should tell you to FINISH SCHOOL!
Good Luck!!

Do not give up college. Stay in, finish. Perhaps you can become an entrepreneur.

Maybe you should give up if you think like that. People who don't think they can succeed usually don't.
