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.
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!

Dicked around, went to college and got a bachelor's, moved away from America
Finished high school in 2010. Still going to a nearby community college for mechanical/ manufacturing engineering. Drop-failed out on two separate semesters. Built a 3d printer. have a job at a small time family owned business as an assembly line worker but my boss has had me design a few parts for him on Solidworks and Autocad. Recently hired as a 3D printing consultant (independent contractor) and use my printer to make prototype parts for another company. Printer close to paying for itself. Feel like inadequate garbage going to a community college fresh out of high school (for 5 years now that is) instead of a 4 year. Turn 23 in 4 months. Hope to transfer to a UC or CSU in roughly a year.

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.
