7 Steps to Finding Success If You Drop Out of College You Think you can't be successful if you drop out of college? Think again. Some of the biggest companies in the world were started by entrepreneurs who never finished school. While there are skills and experiences and accomplishments that any aspiring successful person will acquire in college, if you happen not to have finished (or you find yourself having dropped out and spiraling in a fit of panic), remember that it isn't necessarily the end of the world.
school. Don't fall into ignorance or stagnation just because you needed to stop attending college.
Here are a few things you can do to get yourself back on a good track to success.
4. Find Your Real-Life Community. Just because you aren't in college anymore doesn't mean you don't need professors and "classmates." Find yourself mentors. Present yourself to people in your desired field and show your willingness to learn. You'll probably get a good recommendation out of it at some stage in your career. Similarly, find your crew of like-minded, similarly-oriented people who you can build your empire (or at least a business) with. Learn from each other and promote each other's work.
1. Breathe. First take a deep breath and realize it's your life. You are in control. If this is what you need and you can still accomplish what you want to in life without this degree? Then great. Start making concrete plans and working towards that goal. 2. Keep Learning. Education doesn't necessarily end with school. Neither should yours. Continue learning as voraciously as possible-following what interest you most and what you'd need to know to expand your career outside of
3. Keep Taking Risks. Dropping out to pursue other options is big risk. If it pays off for you, continue thinking of others ways you can take calculated risks in pursuit of your destiny. Keep pushing for your dreams. You've already shown you have the guts. Persist!
5. Don't Ditch Responsibilities. Whatever your new class equivalent is-show up for it. Don't blow things off just because you aren't technically required to show up
anymore. Push yourself and give yourself grades! This is equally important for work. Get a job and show up at it-on time and consistently. 6. Don't Be Defensive. You can't have it both ways. If you didn't finish school, you can't very well complain that other people did and it makes you feel bad. Remember you chose your priorities and your life. It was your choice. Be honest about why and don't take any negativity from anyone they react unfairly. 7. Be Humble. Be willing to work from the bottom up. Get in on the entry level of whatever filed you most want to work in. Be willing to start low on the totem pole. With a little humility and dedication, you probably won't be down there long.

Bad Job Experience? Find Positive Takeaways At one point or another we may find ourselves working in a not so ideal situation. Sometimes it's the company. Sometimes it's the job itself. No matter what, a bad job experience makes for more negative than positive.
JOB SKILLS. There has to some takeaways that are better than the day to day drag until your next move. Find what's good about your situation. One way is to pick up job skills that are transferable to other jobs. Maybe you're not in the industry of your first choice, there are still some job skills that you can take away. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE: How is this company set up? How do they operate? Though your experience is not so great on the
job, doesn't mean their overal operation is not successful. Maybe it doesn't vibe with you, but what have they done to be successful and or, what changes would you make. Is your department not what it should be and your suggestions are going unanswered. Or is there a bigger picture? Turn those thoughts and ideas into positives as you seek your next role. MANAGEMENT: This could be one of your main reasons for a bad job experience. There's usually something about management (or your direct supervisor) that isn't to your likeness. However, there are usually some tid bits you cna pick up from management that could show your next boss you really have what it takes. If you have the hard working - grind it
out supervisor leading the way, you may pick up some of that work ethic. Is management well organized, using an abundance of resources around them to be successful - another takeaway for future endeavors. It's often the small things that you pick up from a bad work experience and you don't even know it occured. Usually, if you've stuck it out at a job for a year or more, those tendancies can be picked up. Yes the bad one always stick out and you notice them. The positive takeaways are an added bonus, you've got to recognize them and use to your advantage. Job Daily Staff Writer
