I was a high school dropout trying to pay my own way through college. It was also before I got into online marketing, before most did.
After completing my graduation, I started online marketing. Now I am enrolled for post graduation in marketing.
graduated in 07 with a degree in economics, was on a full ride volleyball scholarship. best 4 years of my life.
Take it from someone who is many years out of college: You probably won't be able to use 95% of the stuff you learn in college, but you will never have license to have as much fun as those four years you are in it.
Enjoy college. Especially enjoy that first year or two of living in a dorm. lol You'll understand why later in life.
And unless you are making more than $3,000 a month and you have a real plan to grow a business that you can sell, try to do summer internships at real companies to get REAL work experience in a chosen field.
Again... ENJOY COLLEGE!!!!!!!!
You will never again have that many young and hot co-eds around you and so little expected of you.

Attending full time college right now and constantly question if it's the right decision as AM cannot be taught in college, and this is what I plan on doing until I pull every last dollar out of it.
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

Nice fucking post man :thumbsup:
Yes, I am currently enrolled at the University of Texas. I just got an acceptance letter from McCombs (like 5 hours ago actually, haha) which will allow me to follow the MPA (Masters in Professional Accounting) course.
I've had some of the greatest times of my life so far doing it, too. I feel like the information I'll be learning (Accounting) can be used fucking everywhere, so I think that will set me to go wherever I want.
Someone mentioned them pushing you towards a middle Management position after you graduate. Yes, that's what they do because it looks good for their program, and is why it is one of the best in the country, as job placement for their students is key for a program to be recognized. But I don't plan to do any of that bull shit. I'm gonna learn what I need, finish up, and bounce and go my own way.
Hopefully if I can master AM and some of these other skills while I'm finishing my degrees, Ill be set to start some other ventures somewhere else, who knows. I think those accounting skills will be invaluable for wherever I go though.
And the whole time I'm gonna be partying my ass off. It's all about time management. I know when to party and when to study, its as simple as that.
Ill be studying abroad, too. Thinking either Italy or Prague this coming semester or in the summer. Should be some more good times.
So I'm gonna take another rip of my bong and look forward to all that's to come. Peace.

I have more job offers/moneymaking opportunities/free schedule than anyone I know in college (I live with a bunch of college friends). Until that stops, no college.
"Full time" PhD student. I quote full-time because I finished my coursework, so all I am supposed to be doing is finishing my dissertation; i.e., sitting in front of my computer all-day doing what I (want to) do. I should just outsource this fucking thing - anyone know any good content writers for a long-term project
