One decision opens one door while closing another door. No human being is able to say which decision is better because they only lived one branch of their decision tree. What you've listed out is all nice, but you are forgetting same could be said if you chose to NOT drop out. You probably would have succeeded even if you didn't drop out--in different ways. On the other hand, those who fail do fail regardless of what decision they make. I would say the reason you're living a life you're satisfied with is not because of the decisions you made but because of how well you dealt with consequences of your decisions.
- bpchaps 11y agoI'm not necessarily saying that school is useless and that my choice was the best one. I'm saying that there are alternatives that work but are never talked about. I'm saying that "I didn't go to college", shouldn't be a taboo as it so often is. Wider selection and a fallback that doesn't cause major life consequences is all I'm asking for for others. 18 year olds are smart enough not to make the good decisions, but they often don't have the wisdom to make the right decisions.
