College dropout advice

>Be me 20 y/o
>Decide to drop my cs major after 2 years this would have been the start of my 3rd
>Dont have the discipline to work when I need to and end up playing vidya instead of turning in assignments

So what do you think my action plan should be.
To straighten myself out and go back in? I can return after this semester is over but I wont if I feel like its going to be a waste of time and money and I fail my classes(they are hard as shit I looked its like a 35% fail rate). Or if i find a nice job after building off my current skills.

When I was in school I could easily coast through like half a semester because its typically easy. Then I just run out of gas in the middle don't have the discipline to sit down and work at it and my grades drop.

What do?

honestly do what your gut tells you, be happy, but also dont be retarded

My gut is delusional, when I was at college I dreamed about making iphone apps. Still do but I don't know I want to make money as well I cant keep leeching off my parents and I need to pay them the 50k I wasted. If i was my dad I would kill me desu.

in a similar situation, except i finished the CS degree, sorry :(

i hate programming because i have no discipline and i think it will be impossible so i never try

now im working a shitty job that i can autopilot, but working 50 hour weeks for no money

my goal is to become a bazillionaire trading crypto and then just quitting my job and learning how to do something cool

College is a meme. Find a $15+ hour job for steady income and then save your money for crypto investments. Its what i did. I work as a watcher on casino games and threw everything i had into antshares. Up 105k and just getting started. Fuck the real world.

Ditch the video games for a bit and get the gratification from somewhere else. Think hard about things you can change about yourself and what you can do differently throughout your days to be more productive.

Just my advice to get started, but again do what YOU want, write shit down if you need to.

i was the exact same, no discipline. I dropped out and worked for a bit as retail which was shit, now i work in sales and go back to uni part time. I found that the reason i didnt stick with uni was because i didnt have any friends in my classes to make it more enjoyable.

This time around things are better though. the first semester was tough but i made some new friends and we hang out after class, i work during the day still but because my job is on commission i still receive passive income from existing clients even when im not working. Not much but it helps keep me focused on studies.

My advice is: first off, how will you find a 'nice job' with your current skills that is comparative to what you will be paid if you stick it out for a couple more years? Even if you do, there are plenty of people in my course who are older (30s, 40s) that need some sort of qualification to progress further in their selected industry, because you might have the technical know how now, but not say 10 years from now. This is even more relevant especially in a technical field. That being said i know friends who left uni and found a niche and just fucking went balls deep in it and now makes 50k a month. The truth is unless you can be the FIRST and the BEST at something, you are going to be wasting your time and money trying to think of ways to make a living without going to college and getting a degree. If you go back to college and stick it out for 2 more years of your life THEN go change the world because in the scheme of things what is 2 dam years anyway?

The real question is: "am i going to be more efficient with my time in the next 2 years than if i just stayed in school and finished my shitty degree and got my piece of paper?" and unless you start your revolutionary idea tomorrow, the answer is probably going to be no

im gonna cum
not OP btw

Literally was the same, then I took a year off and told my parents that I don't know why I got so unmotivated towards the middle of the year. They offered me trade school or whatever support to finish, and that really made me perk up. Talk to your family and if they say that they'll support you no matter what you decide, then I think you'll find you'll be more motivated to succeed in school. I also found that getting involved in church or other non-vidya programs helps you get more motivated for school, and you still manage to find time to play.

As someone who had a similar experience:

Try looking for a job right now and start applying. If you can find something that pays well and you enjoy, great. If not, it'll give you some perspective on what employers are looking for and how you should take uni seriously/get internships if you want a good job after. It isn't enough to just pass and get a degree for any competitive job.

I want to get in on coins but I feel like thats putting off stuff I need to deal with about myself now
Im working on this, having a routine and sticking to it everyday make a new one and execute on it. I feel like I need to get a job as well though.
I had friends that I joked around with and talked about vidya and stuff after class and around campus we meet up and I helped them with their code.
>because you might have the technical know how now, but not say 10 years from now. This is even more relevant especially in a technical field
Yeah but even if I had the degree I would still be turned down if I was not up to date. Working with a company would keep me up to date.

But I do agree with the other things, I need to find a niche and try for 6 months then decide if going back is the answer.
My families bottom line is get a 4 year degree minimum. That actually reminds me of why I was so depressed in college, thanks for your post! I was upset because I thought my life was being decided for me and I was being herded like a sheep by my parents/relatives.
I going to build my resume and projects then work on finding a entry dev job.

Holy fucking shit, that's exactly what happened to me.
> 20, 2nd year CS major, no discipline, dropout

I'm about to make these gains in crypto and go back for electrical engineering next fall though.

Needed to see this thread now, got my thoughts out. I am in a similar spot

>Started college, CS
>Boring classes. foreign, shitty professors
>Friends I made only smoke weed.
>Start selling shit online, learn my lane and niche quick.
>Drop out, now full weed head faggot
>1 year later making 1500 per week

Now it is time to progress my life. I need to get an ADD script and learn some shit. Unfortuanely I have to pick a career within the next week, and I don't even know where to start

>discipline

If even don't want to go to college, you still need discipline to succeed in life.

>when I was at college I dreamed about making iphone apps

Need college to make apps of course.

Get your shit together. Be happy where you are now or get your shit together and either setup a programming regimen for yourself or start forgetting your first two years bc it seems like you don't give a fuck about programming

Real talk.

Stop playing video games and start doing shit that actually gives you some tangible benefits in real life. Learn hard work and consistency before you go back to school or you will waste your money.

Good luck cunt. I was in your shoes and realize all the problems came down to my lack of effort. I got a private loan to pay for school out of my pocket and I treated it like a 40+ hour per week job.

Good luck man, srs. I hope you have some new perspective/mental framing cause I sure as hell don't
If i had to do something else I would do an engineering or math/phys
Yeah I know im at a rut but i will work to get out
Im taking online programming courses on Udemy and planning to work on projects after that. I do like programming itself but Ive honestly always had a negative outlook on school(coasted through hs). I need to get away and get a new perspective so I'm more grateful for it.

Learn to code scripts to guarantee ICO purchase and also learn quant trading congrats ur a millionaire

>I feel like thats putting off stuff I need to deal with about myself now
You are probably smart enough to realize that almost everyone (including your parents) has been lying to you your entire life about what is important in life. I did the same thing. dropped out and was determined to make it on my own. Not gonna lie to you. It isn't always fun.

It's people like this that really don't want whats best for you. They want you to suffer like they do.
>realize all the problems came down to my lack of effort
He is right about this though.

OP hwew
>It's people like this that really don't want whats best for you. They want you to suffer like they do.
He is just going off his experience and what worked for him, I doubt he's trying to intentionally screw up my life...

But okay what is the truth? I think the most important thing is contribute to the advancement of society through business or other organizations and be rewarded for the value you provide. College seems like a decent step forward toward that life goal but there seem to be other options as well. After working on myself, but if I do something I'm driven to do and it makes me wake up every morning exited for the day then Im probably good starting now..

"Flee" to Germany my man. You can read and write that gives you a couple legs up on all the other immigrants that came to Germany in the last couple of years.

>>Dont have the discipline to work when I need to and end up playing vidya instead of turning in assignments

basically you just told us you're doomed and even OK with it.

lol it's easy as this. literally.

Just go straight to a job. As long as you can show you have real skills you'll get hired easily. Look into getting professional certificates if you have trouble finding a job. I also dropped out on 3rd year and have awesome CTO job now.
