Publisher's summary

The jig is up. College is no longer the golden ticket to success, and students are starting to see through it. We are a generation that wants to make a life instead of just a living. We are choosing ourselves, dropping out, and living life on our own terms!

Sounds like a dumb idea? An escapist fantasy? Only to those too mentally enslaved by the system to think outside the box! In DropOut, Rueben L. Carter guides renegades and tapped out students in making a rational decision to leave college in order to chase their true passions in life. The audiobook explains how to say "Screw you!" to the naysayers, and finally be able to do what you want to do. You'll learn:

  • How our culture and educational system destroy your well-being by design
  • How to identify the distinct signs that indicate whether you should drop out
  • How to deal with the consequences and reactions from your parents, friends, and society
  • Tips on how to make life work after dropping out to pursue your passion

With several case examples to demonstrate the possibilities that abound, this bold and practical guide will give you the courage to be the person you're meant to be.

Break free. Pursue your passion. Change the world!

Summary follow what suits you.

The reader has kind of a shrill voice and basically says college isn't for everybody

Fresh perspective

I listened to this audiobook because of Angel Clark. I truthfully wasn't sure what to make of it.

It is well-written, and honestly I enjoyed listening to it.

I feel that it would be very helpful to anyone considering dropping out of virtually anything in life. And that goes for their (supportive) family and colleagues.

And kudos to Angel for making it a very enjoyable audiobook!
