@back2basicz - My decision to leave school was a result of a few things. One was my constant dissatisfcation with colleges I was attending. I transferred three times in my first two years and was never happy with the education I received. In my last semester of college I had severe lack of motivation, and found it increasingly difficult to finish even the simplest tasks. It seemed stupid to continue racking up student debt if I wasn't passing classes. 

My lack of motivation came from rising feelings that education in the liberal arts, specifically English, which was my major, was pointless. I knew I wanted to be a writer, but it became clear that the only thing I was learning in college was how to write an academic paper that pleased the professor who assigned it. I was also aware, through the constant reminding of a friend, that Lib arts majors are in excess and there aren't many jobs for them. 

I came to the conclusion that it was a better idea, so long as my motiviation was non-existant, to leave college and accumulate experience in my desired profession. I've been fortunate enough to get the opportunity to do so here at IU.
