Okay, I'm sick of people asking me when I'm going to go back to school. Not everyone finishes college and there are a lot of good reasons why a person may choose not to go back.
a) It's incredibly expensive and the student loans never go away
b) More and more college graduates have just as hard of a time finding a job as people who didn't go - tons end up working in restaurants and grocery stores anyway; the only difference is they have student loans to pay on top of rent
c)I was sexually assaulted at school and the school told me it was my fault. Many people have personal reasons that prevent them from wishing to continue their education.
d) A piece of paper doesn't make you intelligent or well read. Anyone can continue to read and learn independently, if they truly wish to do so. I've known plenty of morons with post-graduate degrees.
If you can find a job and happiness without getting a degree, why should you go back to a place that traumatized you just for a piece of paper?
Why does everyone treat you like you failed at life or like you're somehow less intelligent if you chose not to finish college? It's a personal decision and not really anyone's business.
Why is "why didn't you keep going to college, when are you going back?" considered a reasonable question to ask an acquaintance? Why don't they just go ahead and ask my bra size and how many people I've slept with? They're all really personal questions!
