There were about 4 times I thought I would not graduate (at least not from the same school anyways, was gettin fed up for various reasons).
4 years is a long time and it takes dedication and commitment, but most of all interest (in the beginning anyways). However, oddly enough towards the end once I stopped asking questions in class, just did what the teacher wanted and completely lost interest and started focusing on my job search after graduation my grades improved. Go figure.
I only failed 2 classes my whole 4 years and got maybe 2 D's but that was enough to sink my shyt to a 2.5. I got all A's in my cores and B's in the peripheral classes. A lot of professors are racist and don't care how many tutors you goto or how much effort you put in the class. I graduated a semester late thanks to these issues and the guidance counselor wasn't much help at all. She gave terrible life advice in retrospect, the only people I really have to thank for being able to finish are my parents and grandparents. That's about it.
The male brain is not finished maturing until about 25. College in many ways is like High School part 2. This is why I don't advocate getting your MBA right after BA/BS (aside from the fact it's useless until you're at least 35 in the job market and at a senior level position) because your brain really isn't even at it's maximum potential yet even at 21.
Good luck to all Brothers struggling through. It's not the end of the world if you don't finish. Unfortunately real life isn't perfect and we can't all make it at the same time. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, focus on side business ideas to keep you afloat in this rapidly changing economy.

I'm confused because the jobs on indeed.com and monster are for current listings. I'm in my jr. year should I still apply to those jobs?
