College dropouts of reddit, how are you doing now? Do you regret dropping out?

There is huge difference between failing out of college and dropping out. Failing is when you cant maintain a good GPA to graduate, and dropping out is because you just wanted to leave.

I find sad too see so many misinformed people with the supportive mentally of "I shouldnt gone in the first place", there are thousands jobs you can apply for with a business degree per say, I am sure that your college had some career showcase day where you go and talk to HRs or learn about a company that you didn't think exist... what is important is the piece of scrap paper with your name on it and the school that you went to. It is a filter to a lot of jobs out there.

This sounds a bit rough to many of you but if you can, go to college and graduate with something can be anything, go to your showcase grab a 50k/year starting job and pay off your loans in 2-3 years.

Source; I have been there, late twenties now, I went to back to school when I was 24, depressed, didn't know what to do with my life, no meaningful friends.
