did some college,
got kicked around by family who didn't have my best interest
did a lot of dirt
went to jail-
look, man. All you cats out there that's wondering if college is the right choice or if you should stick with it...
College is NOT the only way.
But it GREATLY enhances your chances of standing comfortably on your own two feet.
shyt really is like a map of "point a" to "point j/m/q" or whatever. School>college>somewhat comfortable.
The longer you're out of school, the more "grown person" responsibility you got. Paying yoru own bills, keeping a roof over your own head, taking care of other people....
The more you do that, the further away you'll be from ever going back.
I'm the LAST person who'll try to feed you the brainless ass system of "go to college and you'll automatically be a thousandaire",
but figure out what you wanna do. if it involves higher education, or even learning a trade..... go master the shyt and apply pressure.
