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.

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.

I took a year off, with the intention of going to college, never went to college, and went into retail. It's only been 4 years though, so I suppose that it's not too late.

I took a pretty standard route. Took a gap year, worked night shifts in a factory. Went to uni to study theoretical physics, dropped out at the end of my second year to run a night club. Got depressed, worked a series of rubbish jobs while drinking too much. Started studying again and now have a rubbish job with excellent career prospects. Pretty much what everyone goes through, right?
Two years at a county college followd y some time at WGU followed desperately applying for literally any job in my area in my feild. The two years at county college were weird ad boring. The time at WGU was serious and ended with a goddamn graduation at motherfucking Disney World. The reat is still being figured out.
