    and the real estate bussines responds are not so deep enough, i do real estate as a career too, yet it takes some dedication and cunning planing and risk taking to make it, the amount of risj that you do take, when you get a mortgage is far beyond the risk you take when you fail one class, if you are making 120-150 in real estate, at least here in chicago, you should be loking for a different line of work... fliping time is coming to end yet its still available but dont make moves that were so popular in 2001-2005 period...

    anything you do, it should be only to achieve what you want and need, if your life goal dream demands BA then one class is nothing but a hard diet during your cycle....
    but if you think that you will be self employed for rest of your life- in which case i still suggest education is even more important- then there are ways around it...

    never give up on big picture man... one class, one semmester...one fvking year... is nothing man... as long as you know what for...

    i say buckle down.

    why isnt it a good time to join the military now, you dont have to join the army/marines where its definate that you are going to go overseas, i leave for the air force next month theres tons of jobs where you have a very small chance of going, but you could also be stupid and pick a job where you most likely will go like me

    no ofense or punt intended brother, i come from a military familly, hard core one too.. yet what i meant was, is, to join the army; it has to be in you, its not a decision that you make as you fail a class and you dont see your way out but army

    i have friends who have trades. one's a carpenter making customised kitchens and pulling in 200k a year easily, another is a plumber with his own business making 120k a year easily. both working their own hours, when they want to.


    I have friends who graduated from decent universities not pulling in anywhere near that much, a decent tradesman can earn a lot these days.

    oh and lol @ "droping out of school"

    a lot of that shit is luck too. i know alot of great carpenters who never caught a big break, never had great connections, and don't make jack. again, matters a lot on location, and who you know. but i agree with you that if you are skilled and catch a break its worth it.

    I agree with doc! Stay in school.

    you think people enjoy going to college?...I sure as hell don't.

    You say you do all your homework....it's highly unlikely that a professor wouldn't pass you if you did ALL your homework, even if your test scores weren't threw the roof.

    You might not be good at what you're taking??? Seriously, I spent the first three years of college barely getting through classes, because I wanted to be an engineer.... and I just couldn't seem to catch a break at it.
    I switched over to commerce, and although I wasted three years doing nothing, my grades are almost double what I was getting before!

    What classes are you taking? Whats your major? maybe you need to just switch it up?
    I wouldn't give up so fast ....

    community college = harder than major U's and some Ivy league...

    I know Houston Community college kicked my ass after deciding i couldn't afford to attend rice for 4 years.

    Rice was WAY easier. But way more expensive..go fig.

    p.s. am I the only one entertained by the fact that he spelled "dropping" incorrectly

    Don't give up just yet. Get some tutors to help you out, they make a big difference!

    I feel your pain man,

    Just stick it out and do what interest you. Dont do something your not into, I wanted to be an MD when i first started school because that was what I thought I had to do. But my heart wasnt into it and my grades showed it. Then something happened to me that changed my whole college career. I thought that if I worked hard that I would play pro baseball at some level but after two shoulder surgeries and dealing with doctors that hurt me more than they helped I decided to change my class route. I really got into training from of course college baseball but more so my injury rehabs. I started making friends with a strenght coach and found out that I loved exercise physiology. So after graduating with a biology degree which i had most of my course work done for it since i was premed, i enrolled in a graduate program that offered exercise physiology at the masters level. I recently graduated from that and can honestly say that I would be working retail sales if i hadnt went back to school. Long story short, keep your options open and do what you love. After you get past all those crappy prereq classes that schools make you take and you get into your majors classes you will do better and enjoy it more. Also dont think that you have to finish right away I took a whole year of extra classes in different areas to see what i enjoyed. I finished in five years instead of 4 but it helped me find what I really wanted and enjoyed.

    If you want any help PM me, I volunteer at highschools, and do recruiting for my college right now since I currently work for my school so I have experiance with helping students.
