Anyone made a career change/dropped out of uni? |

Not done anything like that myself but I wish you the best of luck, must be quite scary to make the change.
Did you have friends/parents that are against it/advised you not to?
I dropped out of community college because my professors were worthless, I wasn't learning anything, and I felt like I was wasting my time. Hit a ceiling in my career (computer industry) that could either be resolved with a degree or years more of experience, decided to get my undergrad and am working on my masters now.

Everyone in my life advised against it, called me crazy and called it a stupid choice. Only person that actually supports it is a friend of mine and my girlfriend.

Kinda sucks... but oh well its his life. I've seen this happen too many times. Dropping out is too normalized by a lot of people in power. You need a backup plan for your backup plan if you're going to consider dropping out. (Aug 23, 2020 03:54 PM)Lavish Living Wrote: my older brother dropped out, his junior year.

I think people thinki about "dropping out" so retardedly. Like I don't see why people are dropping out when they have no plans for the future or anything. Like I get it if you have a really good side hustle and making good money or even building an app or anything. But just dropping out to "work a minimum wage job" while playing games is plain stupid, no offense.

You need a good source of income with backup plans and investments you can live off of for at least 6-12 months. |
