6. I'm doing it as a last resort before packing my backpack.
They sell college as the holy grail of money making, but half the millionaires and billionaires either dropped out, didn't ever go, or dropped out of high school even. If this doesn't lead to something hopeful, I plan on packing my backpack and just setting out across the country on foot at this point. I've never had the guts to do something like that before, but desparate times call for desparate measures. I'm giving "the system" 2 more years to make their lies seem true and all this "learning" worthwhile. Either they do better than this or I'm beach combing, begging or whatever it takes to find a better chance.

In the meantime, I may revery to my old ways and I'm definitely itching for a 60's style experience of just numbing myself to the reality of this Bush led misery and doom and gloom and yes, Tuning in, turning on, and dropping out.
