I hate it. I'm done. I'm going to get C's in all of my classes this semester and do I care? NO. I deserve it. I deserve the grade that I truly earned.

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Steven Spielberg never finished college. I personally know a lot of people with associate degrees / that did not complete/ or did not attend college that are doing very well.

Imagination, creativity and determination (and sometimes a dash of good ole' fashion BS) can go pretty far.

In my opinion the grades dont matter as much as the degree. The exception is if you want to get a masters or PHD. My advise is to stick it out and graduate.

That happened to me. What happened was that I discovered the the college didn't give a rat's bum about me anymore, either.

I quit depending on formal education to get me through, and figured out that I would have to live by my wits alone. It worked.

Unfortunately so did millions of others who aren't making enough to make ends meet.

Don't use billionaires as goals or examples. They sure as hell didn't.

Not everyone is college material, and if you don't care about getting a degree, why waste your time or your parents money.

Maybe a voteck school is more up your alley...or...a job at wiener world?

Over educated/under degreed. I did pretty well with only an associates degree (I do have over 8 years of college though - which most employers don't give a rats arse about)

I think if you are "creative" enough, and this means in a variety of ways, then you are at an advantage. I am just not in the mental state to attend college right now.
