I'm thinking about joining the Army or something like it. Is there any real good jobs I can jump into? I'm good with lab work.

at the responses.

But go check out the good job with no degrees post.

Follow the advise in there. Check out my posts in there too. Maybe it'll get you thinking on something you'd like to do.
 
Try lookin' into "Street Pharmacy". I heard it is a pretty lucrative field, with no applications or licensing.

Due to A year and half of me thinking I could be super soldier in ROTC I let myself fall into a 1.9 twice so I was in probation. I dropped ROTC and then I had to do chemistry and more this semester. I got B's in labs and c's in classes but this french class hurt me and I fell again into 1.93333

. Now with 3 bad semesters the school will want me out.

I'm confused...so are you out....or expecting them to kick you out?
 
Is there a forgiveness policy at your college? Meaning you take the class again and they replace the D with the grade you acquired the 2nd time around?
 
seems like you'll be put on probation so if you're serious about school find out what you can do...go to the advising office. not niketalk.

if you're over school, just drop out and do something else to pay back your 24k.

bill gates and mark zuckerberg were college dropouts!!!!!

you know it was coming pause
if you still want to go the college route, prove yourself at a community college, then back to where you were yesterday

 @ 24 stacks in loans and nothing to show for it

what college were you attending
 
You're close to a bachelor's with 94 credits. What do you mean "out of school"? Did that grade put you on probation or something? Me personally, if I was already $20+k in debt, undergraduate especially, I'm getting that degree even if my gpa is 2.0. Unless you dont plan on paying those loans back. Fact is you'll find a better job with a degree than without it, but it sure doesn't guarantee anything these days either.
 
Go to your advisor fam. They'll probably do everything they can to keep you in school. Push comes to shove see of your school does retroactive withdrawals, claim illness or something and it pretty much erases the entire semester. Just go see an advisor and don't quit yet.
 
Go to your dean and see if you can write a leader to the head dean/president for one last chance. I nearly got kicked out of school my first semester when I ended with 17 credits of 0s. But I was lucky that my high school was sort of affiliated with my college and the head dean was a graduate of my HS and thus I got a meeting and talked my way into getting another chance.
 
I honestly think you should talk to a guidance counselor....with a 1.93333, you're only a grade replacement away from getting that 2.0...Not to give you false hope but you should see what your guidance counselor can tell you.

u dummy...listen to this guy.

dont worry, it's not over and with 24k, you better get your degree.....
i knew some kid with .9 gpa, got kicked out and went to cc for a few years. He went back to the university and he ended up going to law school.
 
I still haven't told the family. right now I'm talking with him to see if he can change the grade or give me a I. My mom payed for 3 years out of state cause she wanted me to have my own life. I don't know how to break it to her

. I will call everyone I know and see whats up. If not CC, Police academy or Armed Forces here I come. Does 4 year school credits transfer over to a CC?
 
Looking at the positive aspect of the situation, you've 94 credits. If I'm not mistake 60 credits gets you Associate Degree? You can attempt to go as an Officer in one of the military branches? Competition will be steep, but again I have no actual knowledge. Also with Associate Degree, you can get various jobs. If you are that BOLD dude, go be creative, take risks and make something out of this, go into business or whatever.

If you want to stay in college, 94 credits is pretty damn close (You are at junior/senior standing). Just prepare yourself to explain your circumstances and hopefully they'll give you another chance. Don't stress yourself, this is just a life lesson. Trust me, 10 years from now this will be just the "past". You're at a learning stage, so learn from this and make something out of your situation.
