Any other oldfags here feel bad about "Missing the boat" and didn't go to college
>>
>>34679287
Sort of. I don't have any career fields that interest me though so I have no idea what I would go to college for, but I still feel I missed a decent chance at financial success.
>>
>>34679287
Yeah i dropped out of school when i was 16 due to anxiety and depression, Never got to do the shit everyone else did. Now i stay at home and dont do anything, Turning 26 this year has brought a new level of fear into my life
>>
I have a generic degree but feel I missed out

I spent most of my times in my room and having anxiety

I'm 25 stuck in a blue collar job for life I can't believe this is it....
>>
>>34679287

I graduated from a 3 year trade school in 2009, never worked a day. Don't feel too bad about it OP
>>
29 this year, everyone around me has finished college and is buying a house and starting families.

Ive spent the past 10 years playing video games.
>>
>>34679287
Yes and no.

Yes I fucked myself by not getting a good degree.

No because I only really had English or Drama on the table and they'd either have been useless or another anchor on my CV. I knew that. Didn't bother and I was right to avoid the debt.


I'm feeling good today cos I'm cosey and just blasting away on Pokemon TCG Online like an autist but i feel kinda sad that I'm drifting further away from my best mate ever since he got a place of his own with his girlfriend.

Our lives are poles apart now. Last night he was a fancy Hotel spa and I was playing the Tutorial for Doom the board game on my own on my bed. (I had a lot of fun to be fair).

We still chat but I'm starting to think I'm too far behind him for him to relate.

My brother didn't got to Uni either and he's building tree houses in the Costa Rican jungle right now. Loving life.

Uni isn' all that. It's just the highlight of a wagecucks life. Sad really. Not much better than the people who go on and on about high school.
>>
>>34679336

Might as well get your GED. It's pretty easy senpai.
>>
I did go to college but it was only a commuter state school, and I didn't finish my degree I just dropped out. So yeah not only did I miss out on the "college experience", I fucking wasted time and money (not in debt tho). Now I'm 26 and working a job a 18 year old could do. I'm saving up now and going to enter a trade program most likely, either that or become an EMT.
>>
>>34679746
>It's just the highlight of a wagecucks life.

Its the highlight of anyones life. Never again will you be surrounded by young horny women, alcohol, drugs and not having to work a miserable job you hate. Your brother is in the 1% making it in a job he loves, the vast majority of people in the adult world are miserable alcoholics that want to die.

>it's too late now...
Want to get into Chemistry, but I'd feel so far behind being paired with fresh 18 Gen Z fucks.
That & I wouldn't have a job in the field until my 30's..
>>
>>34679843
Exactly my point. Being surrounded by young horny women isn't all that when you're ugly. I doubt i missed much.

I was too ugly and retarded to make the most of it and the things I was tempted to go just to do it. (Martial arts and /tg/ related club) I've got nowadays anyway.
>>
>>34679904
Just go for it anyway. You don't realize how lucky you are to actually know what you want to do with your life, even if you're a bit late.

I really screwed myself because we lived near a decent college for years but I didn't take an interest in anything and didn't take any classes. Now we've moved and I've thought about taking some trade classes like metalworking, but the college here doesn't even offer them.
>>
I hate having 28 years. I hate my life so much.

26, everythingless virgin here. I keep getting older, but my chances with women never got above zero.

>>34679843
> young horny women
I was in STEM you inconsiderate normie, there wasn't a single girl on campus.
>>
>>34680103
Why? Are you ugly? Ugly and fat? Shit personality?
>>
>>34680134
I thought I was ugly and with a shit personality due to never getting any female attention, but apparently both are decent, so it's just the fact I don't meet any women.

I graduated three years ago, and as I said above, there were zero girls on campus. I haven't met a single girl since either, so a bit hard to try anything. No friends naturally, so no meeting through friends; refuse jewbook so no tinder; refuse to go to bars since I don't drink. What's left?

Already on dating sites, for 8 months now, zero results. There are so few women there, all must have moved to tinder.
>>
>>34680200
Then move to Tindr then...

>>34680273

stupid principles, it's not like he has to enter his CC number and birth certificate, it's literally just personal shit.
Those some things, he's going to want to know when he's talking to a girl
>>
>went to college

>>
>>34680441
> "just" personal shit
Those things are as important as your CC info, if not more so, because you can't change them.
>>
graduate here, no jobs, gave up, neet, consider suicide daily

that resume gap is too huge, and I forgot the "skills" I learned in college. College was a meme honestly, the only people who did well were sociable normalfags, that was my blackpill, normies always win, social skills is the most important skill, and as a spergy robot without genius talents I am doomed to a shitty life.
>>
I'm gonna finish up my last 2 years of college when I'm 29. Gonna be a top dog alpha male pussy slayer since I'm attractive now (used to be very ugly at 18/19 but somehow I still had a gf, although she was a total slut)
>>
>>34680200
>>34680103

You fucked up son, being in STEM is not an excuse. You don't really meet girls in your classes in college. What were you doing outside of class? Were you in a dorm or a fraternity? Were you in any clubs? Did you talkg to people?

You completely missed out, once you graduate its hard to even find people your own age much less single, attractive girls with no kids. It just gets harder and harder. Even worse is guys around our age (25+) are setting down now and don't have time to hang out.

>>
>>34680498

That is the ultimate red pill

social skills, networking, meeting people >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> having a degree

In college you need to spend just as much time meeting people and networking as you do studying. You can't just graduate with a degree, not know anyone, never interned and walk into the real world. You're going to eat shit hard. Its not what you know its who you know, who can get you in. This is the sad reality, if you're an introvert god help you.

Went to college at 25, got my 2 year last August.

55k usd job with car and expenses.
>>
>>34680556
Creeped out looks? "Please don't rape me and cut off my tits" looks?
>>
>>34680525
Outside of class? The assigned projects, or doing my own shit at home.

We don't have dorms or frats in my country (eurofag). There was an electronics club, but I'm not into that. Yeah I talked to everybody during that time, lots of bants with the other nerds.

> You completely missed out, once you graduate its hard to even find people your own age much less single, attractive girls with no kids
Preaching to the choir mate. Though I didn't find any girls during uni either.

>Never again will you be surrounded by young horny women
That's completely irrelevant if you're ugly or <5'8" or both.
Also social anxiety doesn't help either in that situation.
Uni is only enjoyable for normalshits, for a non-normie Uni life is shit full of boredom, loneliness, envy, depression and it will only get worse from that point onward.
Life truly is despicable. Fuck existence.

I started university at 15 and dropped 3 years later after failing all of my classes.

I fucking despised it. I also loathe having a boss.
>>
>>34679287
I sucked it up and went for Criminology at age 28 with freshmen and a few people even older than me. if anyone asked, I just said I wanted to pursue more fields in case my original plan didn't work out. It seems glamorous from the outside in and yes, you make a few friends, but you don't get bitches and such unless you're already predisposed to it IRL.

tl;dr: it's high school, only slightly more mature. slightly.

I wouldn't go back to university for anything. Quitting was, in hindsight, one of the best decisions I've ever made.

kek. The main reason I didn't go at 18 was because of the massive debt it would bring upon me. I used all of my own funds there and came out with 0 debt, and I suppose in these times that would count as wildly successful.

I have several regrets 1 not finishing high school 2 completely shutting down no longer interested in the outside world when I was younger I really about it but in the end I decided it wouldn't be an option. Why go in into debt for the sake of a degree that may prove worthless

got a degree and even lived the normie life bartending @ the student pub for a year, went to several afterparties

if you missed that you missed nothing other than being additionally disgusted with humanity for no reason

normies are literally poison. wish i played video games and worked a real job instead.

Nah, I'm studying a 12 month program that leads to a comfy home based job averaging $30/hour
Before that I made anywhere from $16-$30/hour as a construction laborer with zero education.
College is a meme unless you want to get a high paid high stress job.
>>
>>34685714
How exactly did you get work as a construction laborer?

I've never seen a construction job listed in my area, even though there is some construction taking place occasionally.

I was lucky enough to come of age in Alberta during the oil boom, so I just walked onto sites and asked if they were hiring.

I'm guessing you want to keep the "12 month program" a secret, like so many people seem to do with their fantastic opportunities...

25 and brain is fried. Dropped out of uni three years ago. Father has recently employed me in blue collar job I can hardly do right cause my brain is such mush. I spent last three years of my life obsessing over legal weed in Colorado , moved up there and abused the hell out of some of the most brain damaging weed products I could get my hands on. Eventually my brain just crapped out. Probably the conjunction of the alcohol and weed. Body began to reject alcohol three years ago and would make me very sick when I would consume yet I continued drinking.

Can anyone relate?
>>
>>34686094
Only in a minor way. I did shrooms once and never felt quite the same afterwards. Sometimes when I'm outside I'll just stare at nature and start getting that depersonalization aura, my eyes will focus on nothing in particular, I just kind of zone out but it's not blissful or anything. It's like an artifact from the original experience, and I don't like it.

I know this is 25+, but I'm not sure if I want to get to that point. Only 19, soon to be 20 here. I've only ever worked 3 different jobs, all were for multiple years because my parents told me it looks better. Except now I haven't been working for a full year and a half.

I already regret not going to college. All I do anymore is answer to my parents (mostly mom) whenever they need something done. I don't protest because I know it's hard for them and it's at least something to do for a few minutes.

Is life really worth living? Inb4 I'm told that I have to "get out there" to find something worth living for.
