I'm a full time student and last year while I was going to school full time I made around roughly 2k per month, now I'm not making shit... It was great b/c I didn't have to go to work a 9-5, so i had a lot time for my school work...
How many of you are currently full time college students?

Starting my junior year in the fall, I'm majoring in Affiliate Marketing. It's a new program and is very very reputable.
Qualifications might not help in the short run but they won't hurt in the long run either 
I graduate in 12 months but still work online.

I'm in sixth form, lower 6th. I'm semi-new to the area (lived there all my life, but was at boarding school for like 3 years), so don't really know anyone, so getting to know some people, then dropping out.
I did this through college (was new but made fulltime income). College was a plan B. I did AM more than I studied. Good luck.
Business-double major in marketing/human resources, and minor in operations management! I love it but it tends to take a lot of time away from my online businesses. Can't wait to graduate so i can get a real job and focus more of my time online.
This was one of the most intriguing talks I've heard in a long time, Sir Ken Robinson is truly a forward-thinker and we need more people like him. Although I haven't dropped out of college just yet, I've always been of the opinion that our system of education is a big farce and a prehistoric concept.
Firstly, how exactly that any subject you could wish to study takes exactly 4 years to learn? It's a business, that's how.. The focus is no longer on the individual (was it ever?) but on the success of the "business" among other things. The post secondary education we have is like a big factory conveyor belt where unique individual materials are inserted and by the time they reach the other end are transformed into a one-size fits all replica ready for mass distribution.
I've been in school for quite some time now, and at this point it would be wasteful to not stick through one more year to get that piece of paper at least. But I just can't take the classes seriously anymore, even the challenging ones, it really is just learning for learning's sake... Inefficient and mostly ineffective learning at that.
I don't believe we're able to flourish at our best when we get stuffed into a square box, that still smells like the last guys fart, and wake up 40 years later to find out that our promise of freedom was a big hoax. I know school isn't necessarily the extreme, but it's a beginning to an end and in most cases the classic 'snowball effect' hits the further along you are., and many ideas that once seemed real are now unrealistic and only childish dreams. So for those of us who are still serving that 4-year sentence, beware of falling into that trap and remember what you REALLY want
I am in the same situation here and not too happy with it.
Got my bachelors in Finance, made close to $150k during my sohomore year doing myspace spam, lol not sure if its considered AM or not tho...and of course just as easy as it came, it went just as easy...non stop partying, girls, bottles service, vacations, no savings, just reckless college lifestyle on steroids lol...dont got shit to show for it now lol, but I'm only 25 and im working my way back up, doing it the legit way now tho, done with spammy nonsense, but those were prolly the best times of my life tho, hands down...couldnt beat being a 21yr old college kid at a college where girl/guy ratio is 4 to 1 and at the same time bringing in $3k a week by doing absolutely nothing LOL...def an awesome experience, wish i was smarter with my money back then tho, id still be balling if i wasnt so naive...but fuck it, u live and u learn i guess
3k a week? lol....u know a lot on people on here do 10 times that in a day
my point is, don't consider a number like "3k" something you can get away with, shoot for 5 figure days
dropping college is retarded. Why drop out when you can just take easy classes and keep working? Affiliate marketing can be dead in 3 years, you never know. those of you getting cocky thinking you're gonna be banking hard forever are in for a surprise if facebook/google/whatever drops you. You only look at one perspective when you are banking but you dont look at the other- when you go from x,xxx a day down to nada you are gonna be wishing you stayed in college.
save yourself some time trying to find a job and just take it easy in college if you are doing AM stuff. when something huge comes up, maybe take a quarter off or take some easy classes and keep banking.

I do AM and college both fulltime. About 5 hours a day of each. Just need to learn how to manage your time
