Brehs who did bad in school, how did you turn out in life?

[BigSteppa]

Did bad my first three years of high school was just fukking around skipping with the homies, hitting up girls, smoking that type of shyt. Senior year fixed my act up and focused on school luckily I was able to get accepted into the program I wanted in uni got my degree and now I have the job I'm working at

I was able to learn just enough to participate in coli threads.

But not enough to bother ever reading the OP.

Coasted in school, doing pretty bad at the moment but I'm working

The phrasing on this is jokes, the bolded in your answer is the epitome of

In this situation right now, bounced around in 3 high schools, pretty much never studied, and got by on social promotion but I always did well in English and History (my only AP classes) Graduated with about a 2.4. My family went to Martha's Vineyard and met some people from Morehouse, they blessed me and wrote me a recommendation and I got in. MF'rs there were smart and studious as hell while partying, me on the other hand I took up English because I thought because I was good at it in HS, it would correlate


Minored in sports journalism. The funny thing is I did well in my major classes even though it was dumb shyt like Milton and Shakespeare, but the gen ed shyt freshmen year killed me. Basically taking biology, psychics, music, and math and paying for it, when in high school I pretty much just showed up did the minimum, and passed. And yes, the music class was hard for whatever reason. Having to know gregorian chants and shyt like that.

Graduated with a 2.5. Been in non-profit pretty much coasting off the strength of the school's reputation. Been studying for the Sec + and thinking of doing door dash or uber eats on the side since I can't even win a fukking $40 on fanduel. I have no interest whatsoever in Sec + but I do in money so I'm forcing myself to study and like this shyt.

Also just made up a new resume and made myself a DEI recruiter and been getting interviews

I don't know if I have ADHD or what. My passion is sports, and music, people always said I know music and make good playlist but that's a side hustle not a career, Im going to start blogging the playoffs and music reviews, writers don't get paid that much but at least I would do what I enjoy.

Don't blame anyone for it and not looking for sympathy it is what it is. I'm 28, no kids still have time. My advice would be go to community college and knock the gen ed out then transfer to a 4 year and of course pick Stem. Morehouse doesn't except cc credits but it's better in the long-run if you weren't studious in hs.

Damn breh this lookin creepily like my life rn and I’m bout to be 24


If you could go back 4 years what would you do/not do breh?

 

[Shox]

i was on the verge of dropping out and ending up with a GED, barely graduated.

a major truant in high school.

went to community college found some shyt i was interested in
transferred to a university
got my degree
went on to get another graduate degree on top of it.

I resonated with this, I use to run around in these streets then I obtained my GED and attended community college. It took me a couple years to get it together but now I make 6 figures working for the city, I'm also in nursing school currently with tuition covered by my job with a 3.7 gpa.

If I was 24, looking back I would just go to the Airforce and do Cyber Security and have them pay for the certs and get the security clearance and travel.

I work out and I'm in shape so the physical aspect of it wouldn't get me upset. I have a bad knee and so does my Uncle who's in the Air force, the only difference is they pay for it even after he retires next year. He has a house in Arizona and Florida. I went into the recruiter's office when I was like 26 and he showed me a picture of his 3 cars- imagine how I felt as I took 3 trains home after leaving that office.

But yea, as people have said I think best options for people who hate studying and never had that background to do military or a trade.

Save and invest on the side, study NFT, crypto's, look for multiple sources of income. Idk what city you are in also, but also might be good to roommate to cut finances and limit eating out and crazy expenses.

I did well by pulling out and not having kids, so that's a plus,
