Went to a University. Don't wanna say where, but it was one of those places where if you don't get straight A's you shouldn't bother applying. I got in by playing it smart in highschool by taking all the easy classes like Literature, even though I hate reading boring fiction written by dead white British guys.

University sucked; but I don't really like school stuff like reading books, writing essays or memorizing useless shit I never used again after taking the final exam.

Fucking nothing after trying to do community college for a brief period. Seriously just goofed off and enjoyed myself for around 5 years, soaked in all my friends going to college and spent most of my free time with hobbies.

Thankfully I'm able to make a full living with my hobbies and I've really achieved much more than I ever thought I would. Esp never graduating from high school.

I also saved a bunch not having to get student loans!

Hey Voat, I wasn't the greatest of students in high school, so my odds of being accepted to a college were slim to none after graduation. I worked a few jobs in food service to keep money in my pocket, but eventually decided to join the military because I really had no other viable options. Long story short, I'm still in over a decade later and don't regret the decision at all.

Went to a large research university, studied and networked so I would have career options after graduation, got my bachelor's double majoring in finance and accounting, accepted an offer for way more than I would have thought I'd be making right out of college, and now have been promoted and make even more.

It really does pay off to work hard and sharpen your social and interpersonal skills so you can network effectively.

Went to a moderately large ag/tech state university. Got out, worked 3 years in a well paying job I hated to pay off my student loans from undergrad (only $7000 - I graduated in 1991) and pay for a reliable vehicle. Then went to medical school at a similarly inexpensive state university.

All the high school girls I could. Well for like 2 years after, now I don't wanna be near any of them cause they're annoying as fuck.
