Comment on Ask HN: Should I Quit College?

Comments

Find out how long it takes for your credits to expire first.

Many schools allow you to finish by taking classes online. See if you can take a single class online at a time for the next few years.

Either way, your grades don't matter now, so just do the bare minimum to get the degree (now or someday in the future).

To be honest I tried to find multiple ways to get it done but I am still getting lack of communication from university (they just don't care) and honestly at this point neither do I. I was a 4/4 GPA student prior to working with the startups and it now dropped to 3.6/4 with 1 semester left. Really contemplating what to do since there is a lot of stuff that needs to get done.

Drop out now and make whatever money you can. Finish the degree later because it will be useful (socially, romantically, and in business) and because there's no reason to waste your existing credits.

Fair or not, having no college degree can cause people to dismiss you.
