Dude if you need to take a year off to work and save money to pay tuition then do it. But don't drop outour give up on your dreams regardless of what some idiots or talk show hosts tell you.
My problem is that I never really had any dreams. I'm your typical loser, no friends and haven't worked in over a year, living with my parents, etc. I'm a smart guy, was near the top in all my AP classes, but never did clubs or any shit like that. I never really had much of an interest in anything in particular.
There is one reason I went to college, everyone else was (and the easy loans). Everyone in my AP classes were going to college, the teachers all made a fuss about it, and I figured since I'm so great at math and science I might as well do engineering. Got to college, felt like more high school. I'm almost glad I can't pay this tuition, the only problem is that I'm going to have to find a job. The last job interview I went to was over a year ago, I nearly had a panic attack (due to my social anxiety). Right now I'm just so flustered it's not even funny.
