I wouldnt take the chance.It may not be as easy to go back to school if it fails.Then your stuck in a dead end job.I see it this way,youve allready put time and effort into school and your going to leave it for a posible cahnce at stardom.The key word is "possible" here.ALOT of bands fail.more than you think.I think every one on this forum knows of a band or musician that almost made it.Almost isnt good enough in my book...just my 2 pennies.

Yeah but alot of bands make it also. yeah im sure every one on this forum knows of a band or musician that didnt make it but im sure a few of us might know one that has. your look on life seems pretty negative i know your just giving advice but what you say doesnt apply to everyone. Also going back to college isnt that hard i know plenty of people who went took a couple years off and then went back when they were more mature for a lot of people its easier this way cause when you are a little older and you go back your there to work not ---- around

No.My look on life is not negative.Its just that when your young you only think of what you are going to do with your life in the next 5 minutes.Im a little more mature now and I said what I said couse I droped out of high school to persue something that at the moment seemd what I wanted to do.By the time I figured out I wasnt happy doing what I was doing it was too late.My life was too complicated to go get my GED and try to go to college.I am not unhappy with my life its just that I wish I had stayed in school and then gone to college. Your right though my way of thinking isnt for every one.I realize we all have a dream and when were young we want to persue it.....hopefully it will work out for jung.

College, to me, is utter bullshit. I feel that none of the jobs I've ever heard of that I REALLY want to do involve a very wide------ education. To make it as a worker, you have to be trained for a skill that's in demand. Why the ---- did I have an English class last quarter when I major in vehicle design? I wasted time on that ----. But it gets me my piece of paper. I am more qualified becuase of it. ---- that. Learn only what you want to learn, by yourself and for yourself, and you will learn it better and have more fun. At the same time you are secure in the path of least resistance. You wear only fifteen pieces of flair. If you want it, and I mean REALLY, you can make it happen. Just make sure your focus is happiness and not money because you will find yourself without either if you pick the wrong one.

Perhaps its just me but i say stay with your girl ,friends and cars. You don't always find a girl that will stay with ya for 5 years and you can never replace friends. Nothing replaces the feel of working on your car for so long ,busting your *** and then finally reaping the rewards. As for college i enjoyed my 3 years of it. I learned a ---- load of stuff in machine shop and i use it to the full extent and then some. You can never beat schooling. You may know your ---- but you won't get your full pay unless you have that little piece of paper .

dude, college is supposed to make you a more "rounded" individual. I agree english isn't my forte especially when I'm going for a physics degree. But it suck to have your thesis laughed at for poor grammar. nahmsayin?

Whatever you do, keep college a priority. I don't think I'm the type of person that will work FOR people all of my life. My mind seems to come up with idea's to where I can work for myself. Yes, I think there is a good chance I will have some type of small business or whatever in life, but I still go to community college. I will have to make my own future, but the friend I work for now will have his dad's business gladly handed to him in no time. He's always saying how superior he is to the everyday person because he has/will have his own business, but that doesn't make him ----. I told him to go to college as well so when people say, "your whole life was handed to you" he can say, "yes it was, but I have a blah blah degree as well." Point is, always go for as much as you can handle. School doesn't make you smarter, it takes you out of your own little world to give you a better understanding of everything that's happening around you. But you don't realize this until your in school. I'm done now.
