True or False: You're a high school or college dropout?

Question

If True, share your experience please.

Why did you decide to dropout?

Any regrets?

Answer 1

TRUE!
College drop out. I moved away after high school and was supposed to support myself and go to school... yeah right! I partied and then cried to my parents when rent was due. This lasted a whole few months before they told me to get my butt home! Then I worked to pay everyone back and never went back to school.
I regret it sometimes, but for now, I have a nice job without having wasted too much time. I'm sure to keep growing with my company it may come in handy to have some sort of degree in the future.

Answer 2

high school dropout-false, I actually graduated on time back in 2002, I got a real high school diploma, and I continued to go to day school instead of night school.

college dropout-kind of true, Back in 2002 I went to a 4-year college for just a year not far from my hometown and I hated it so I dropped out and went to a nearby community college the following semester (2003) and then I took the year 2004 off because I was thinking at the time, I didn't want to go to school, I wanted to go off to LA to become an actress. It didn't work because I didn't have the money, I kind of went poor during the first part of my college, and after practically no luck in the employment area, I decided to go back to finish my Clerical Studies certificate. I finally got it done in May but during that time from 2005-2007, I did finally get some jobs, mostly summer jobs and now I'm back to being unemployed despite getting a college certificate.

Answer 3

Completely False

Answer 4

False

Answer 5

False, and no one in the US should even consider dropping out these days. Public Schools are federally subsidized. You don't have to be wealthy to get a good education in the US. And even if you feel you had a less than advantageous high school education, you need to graduate and you can get a loan and attend community college. From there, you can transfer to many 4-year institutions and get a great degree. You can also get a lot of good jobs (nursing for example) with an Associates (2 year) degree.
These days no one should drop out of high school. You need a high school diploma so that you can get a college degree, which is increasingly becoming the new standard of American education. Almost nowhere else in the world offers as equal education to all of its social classes.

False

Answer 7

HUGE REGRETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did drop out of college due to money and stress that I was receiving from my family because they viewed people with disabilities as someone who can do "Nothing else but manual labor."

That is why after a 6 year heinous from college I went back to school despite my family's objection and did earn a AAS Degree in Engineering where I graduated with a 3.82 GPA. Now I'm working to earn dual Bachelor Degrees in Computer and Electrical Engineering, where I have a 4.00 GPA. I'm a member of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, on the 2007 National Dean's List, I've been invited to the 2008 Engineering Delegation in China by the International Scholar Laureate Program, and I have an interveiw with the C.I.A. tomorrow morning as a Computer Specialist.

My biggest regret is that I wasted 6 years of my life having to listen the mind numbing insults by my family because they honestly believe that I'm some mush for brains due to the fact that I have Epilepsy, a Speech Impairment, and yes a Learning Disability.
