Is it a good idea to drop out from college and invest in Crypto Currencies?

[Frost000]

Do they do degrees in Bullshit? lol. Even degrees like Business Studies can be worth little. A lot of true entrepreneurs wont even have basic qualifications but do pretty fucking good for themselves. I could name you quite a lot of world famous business people who don't have qualifications or very little. I'd like to see some jumped up uni boy who thinks they know more about business than these people.

Of course there are quite a few natural entrepreneurs who have no formal business training. I greatly admire Richard Branson and he definitely falls within that category. Keep in mind that statistically, these naturally-gifted business people are not a dime a dozen.

Anyways, the op knows my position by now... Hopefully he'll be able to make an educated decision concerning his dilemma!

Depends on a lot of variables. I've got mates with masters degrees stacking shelves in a supermarket yet a few other people I know left school at 16 and run their own businesses on 6 figure salaries. Really depends on the type of person you are and what course you're studying. Personally wouldn't invest everything in cryptos, nobody knows how the governments will react to them in the future.

I like BTC and all, but I'm horrified how some people got so much into the whole crypto thing that they advise to give it priority over much more stable investments in life like education.

Same. One of my best mates has two degrees and is earning around 20k a year. One of my other mates has hardly any basic qualifications and works in a bacon factory and makes roughly the same.

Well, if you pick a bullshit degree to begin with, results may vary, obviously.

The importance of university training depends on your field of study and desired employment. There are some fields where a degree is mandated by law (law, medicine). There are other fields where a degree is not so important if you are willing to put in the work, like entrepeneurial business or programming. I am in the chemistry field, the most efficient way to get the knowledge and experience you need to work as a chemist is to attend a university. You could spend the money to build yourself your own lab to learn chemistry and study out of textbooks, but it is simply much more cost effective to pay the tuition to get access to the university facilities.

The company where I work, a while back (like, he retired decades ago) there was a man who started as a janitor and worked his way up to be the top research scientist, but that is very rare and would not even be possible with the company's current hiring standards. The only people who get hired as research scientists are people with PhDs in the relevant field, and for the core RnD group there is a list of 30 Universities which we hire from. If you got a PhD from a school that is not on the list, too bad, go do a post-doc and come back to us in a couple years.

yes it is

Unfortunately unintelligent sheep are dime a dozen though.

Of course there are certain situations where qualifications are a must. I wouldn't want a brain surgeon to operate on me who's only qualification was that he's read wikipedia's page on brain surgery and reckons he can pull it off lol.

I don't see how saying this helps your argument, especially considering that using the term "unintelligent sheep" would go further in characterizing those without degrees/diplomas than those who do have one (or many).

Are you assuming people with degrees cannot be unintelligent sheep?

Is English your first language? My sentence inherently implies that those who do have a or many degrees can in fact be unintelligent sheep.

No, it isn't. But brilliant insult there, well done. I commend you for your wit and originality.

Very bad idea to drop out of school just to invest in crypto currencies.  What would you do instead?  Just watch charts instead of going to class and furthering your education?

[Sutters Mill]

Bitcoin investment is looking like a long term strategy for me at the moment. I know I wouldn't be able to live day to day just by investig bitcoins. The market is too static at the moment IMO. It could all change but could go either way remember. Too risky!

I'm one of the not-so-few people holding onto my coins until they're worth a million each (Dec 2014)

Note: Please don't leave college based on my amazing foresight

[token5gtd]

That's a big negative ghost rider.  You should slap yourself for considering it.

[E.exchanger]

No complete your studies and you can invest in crytos along with your college what's so big deal in that !! If you are not able to pay  th fee then ask for loan 

[coinmaster222]

You can drop out college if you have already considerable investment let say it is in millions. if just few thousand just don't.

[cosmofly]

Terrible idea

[DubFX]

If you're going to do this prepare to that maybe you'll be working at mcdonalds soon..

[softron]

V.bad idea.

[zolace]

I am an bitcoin fan,but i think finishing the college is the best investment you can do for your future!
