Two years ago, I dropped myself from uni in the mid 3rd semester as I had the same thoughts as you. I learned more things in 1 year by myself more efficiently than I could have learned in 4 years degree.

I am doing full time freelancing now. I am proud of myself to take such a risky and life-changing decision.

If you have no qualifications you’ll likely be dumb as fuck, and lack the sticking power to even succeed in business. You’ll be competing with people who dedicated their life to learning and improvement. When you go to raise finance you’ll have to explain that you have entirely unqualified. Come on man just smash it out. I did a masters degree in law whilst running my business. Light work. Get it done.

Most of the problems here are not college level problems. People don’t fail due to esoteric problems – they fail at the level an eighth grader does an assignment requiring homework.

Rest assured, anybody who has proven their immunity thus far need not continue.

Entrepreneurs take everything as an opportunity. Making important contacts with rich parents. Finding like-minded individuals with to do projects with. Using their nascent business as the subject of their coursework like Fred Smith did with Federal Express.

Some people can look at a box of cereal and get ideas about popular taste, design for shelf appeal against competition, promotion. All the rest are the reason they have to print “Choke Hazard” on the toy inside the box.

Funny how many are of the opinion they shouldn’t quit … immediately after they quit college. Just not ha-ha funny.

Turns you into a good little slave….I mean worker

Are you really that dumb?

Exact reason to teach the correct grammar…

A few things. 1) teach you to learn and work hard. 2) teach you things that have high cost to learn/barrier to entry. You need a lab etc. 3) mentoring 4) give you required/legal papers to practice a craft.

Basically if your education doesnt teach you high level math, requires a lab or gives you legal ability to do some job, you could probably have learned the thing faster by yourself. If you know how to work hard.

If the above isnt part of the subject you study its also unlikely to learn you how to work hard.

Some educations might also provide competition that will push you.

If anyone noticed these education are pretty much only STEM.

Finally when getting your first job employeers often want “proof” that you learned something or at least have to ability to complete something.

Qualifications, Status, Connections, Peers etc etc

i think i’m just the one who noticed when 3 out of my 6 lecturers started their introduction to first years like me saying something like “do your school activities right so when you graduate you’ll be a good employee to your future boss”

i guess all of them went on a meeting beforehand to remind students that were just gonna be working for someone for the rest of our lives lol

although some schools have good resources if you know how to put yourself out there tbh i got good internship with a well-known humanitarian organization but as a business student ik this thing isnt right for me smh

Institutionalization

Lawyers, doctors, engineers etc will disagree with you) If you want to find a decent job, education is the first vital step. Yeah, it is possible to build a successful career without education but it`s more an exception than a rule. Here is a great example: software engineers. Most companies who hire software engineers demand at least a bachelor`s degree in computer science or any related area

School is NOT for everyone nor is it needed to start a business or a career. What you do need is a tangible marketable employable skill set…Why waste $50-100k on a bachelors degree, then more on a graduate degree when you can invest in yourself! (thats what I did)…some of the largest yacht owners at my yacht club do not have degrees yet have amazing businesses.

I am currently in university. Since I was young I wanted to be in control of my own life as a businessman. However, university seemed to be mandatory as I was pushed to go for post secondary education.

This has given me more time to focus on business, working out, and building on my time management skills.

It has also given me perspective, connections, and the ability to network in the area surrounding university.

Yes, I look at it as a waste of time because I hate “back up” plans, but in reality, it has given me more skills and time than working a job daily would give me.

If it’s so easy for you go on and win. Might work for you.
