10 Reasons to Drop Out of College
1. You can go back any time within 10 years.
College credits are valid up to 10 years for most universities. You can drop out of school and come back at a time where it makes more sense.
College is a huge financial commitment.
Before you decide to go to college, think about the job you would like to do when you get out.
It makes much more sense to study a subject with a goal in mind rather than "figuring it out" along the way.
2. Your student loans are adding up
Many college graduates will pay student loan debt for the rest of their adult life. Private schools can cost 30,000-50,000 per year.
Unless you are attending an Ivy league school, this does not make sense for most people.
Public universities can also be expensive. Graduating with $40,000 in debt will turn into $60,000 over the life of paying back the loan.
Ask any college graduate with student loan debt. They will tell you to stop and think about what you want to do before you make that kind of financial commitment.
If you are unsure what you want to do, DON'T go to college.
No one is forcing you to go to school right away, your future should not be determined by those around you.
College an outdated and ineffective form of higher education.
3. College degrees are not worth what they used to be
Unless you study a very specialized field, a broad college degree is worth very little these days. Degrees in business and communication are often too broad to get recognition in the real world.
As a young person with little experience, many times it is more valuable to get an entry level job (at a real company) than to go to college.
4. Online businesses are real
