Thanks, hon. For the longest time I was happy with my decision about quitting, because I had a great job and a great apartment, and I wasn't struggling, so I didn't think that dropping out was going to affect my life in a major way. Then when I lost my job last fall I realized that it was all an -channeling Lindsey here- exercise in denial. That's when I learned that I had nothing to fall back on, and that great jobs like those only come around once in a life time. I was facing a job as a cashiere, or worse, for the rest of my life and it scared me to death. Not to mention all the people around me that were my age and had degrees and great jobs and were buying houses and stuff like that. Luckily, I found a job that allows me to both pay for college and have the time to study. If I put some effort into it, ofcourse.
So, to any youngsters who are reading this: finish school!
