Dropping out of School

if you confident in your ability to actually turn your skills into profits then go for it, just be prepared to work hard. College is easy, you shuffle through the system until they give you a piece of paper showing that you're certified to be another cog in the wheel and then off you go, if you're willing to put forth the effort to actually EXCEL at life then fuck college, that drive is all you need

idk i'd say you need more than drive. Most entrepreneurs have connections and know people in areas that allows them to get a leg up on others. Realistically speaking, there's so many people out there pushing the same or similar ideas that you need something to set you apart & it's more often than not who you know.
That being said being in college/university gives you a great opportunity to network and build connections because there's so many people from all walks of life and you never know how someone you meet in school can help you later on down the road. I really don't know anyone with connections that made those outside of school.

i love seeing the typical "dont drop out, itll ruin your life blah blah blah" some bitch i know had her bachelors for three years making 15$ an hour working for a school district. Guess what? Im like 5 years younger with the same damn job and no college. not saying its a great job, but a degree doesnt mean much when you cant find a job.

Well that's exactly why if you're smart, you treat a degree like an investment. If you're doing something creative or some bullshit like Sociology or Education, just go to a CC and limit your loans. If you're investing in a degree to become a doctor or some shit, of course you're gonna see a good return on your investment and it's worth the risk. I'm just trying to tell this dumb asian nigga that he should be prepared and just get something as a safety net. A degree isn't a guarantee of a good job, let a lone a job at all, but there's no reason to be a fuck nigga and put it off completely.

BTW asian nigga, I get what you're saying now, but you might wanna consider diversifying how you'll generate capital. What type of business are you looking to start anyways?

yo i feel you buddy. Call me a fuck nigga but Ive already came to conclusion that Im not fucking with college. Shit i know my goals are unrealistic and ill have to work 2x as hard, but ive come to terms with that. worst comes to worst ill pick up a trade.

Damn i didn't mean to generalize like that blood. How old are you and what exactly do you do for the district b? A job is a job, if you got one, you luckier than most people

nah no hard feelings. i just turned 20 and Im a substitute aid for handicap kids. Yea man shit is tough right now. I want to be a business owner/have my own brand (i see you buddy omar lifestyle brand). both far fetched goals and I understand a degree is a nice fall back, but when it comes down to it im not about that college life. Im going to into everything with a well thought out plan, try to make some connections and just hustle until I am at where i want to be.

Believe that blood. I just turned 19 and i'm grinding too. Young niggas gotta stick together out here. Internet marketing and shit is a big part of it too b. I don't make these ridiculous songs and jawns just to get attention believe that-- everything got a purpose to it. You ever need any help with anything b, just hit me up on twitter or PM me.

As long as you have an original concept, and some capital, blood, anything is possible. I work with another brand with some better connections and shit too helping with marketing and creative development type shit. If you got a good idea and run into some capital, again b, lemme know. Not looking to get paid either. I just like to see people shine on here. We all gotta stick together. #OYYOYSL

fuck, you my nigga buddy. shoot me that twitter!

I just took my first year at the University of Toronto and it was boring as hell and I didn't feel like I got anywhere with it myself. I'm planning to drop out of school to pursue things that I have a passion for, what do you guys think about school?

DStyles can't drop out, cuz he never had the chance 4 an education

No offense to anyone in this thread, but I like to keep it real and that's why people call me an asshole to the original poster....if you have to come on here looking for advice on serious life decisions...you're fucked...This may sound harsh but you lack guidance and drive. There's little n****s on the train right now dancing better than you for nickel and dimes, so if I sit on the train like "these dudes suck." You better think this whole thing over. You think any of these motherfuckers in this thread gonna care when your whole career is in shambles when you fuck your leg up hopping round like an idiot like in that gif.? Nah. They wouldn't even let you sleep on the couch. They don't know you and that's my point...speak to people you know before you make life altering decisions. You must have a successful aunt or uncle ..someone to talk to besides strangers
