    Going all in whilst still educating myself via the web. YouTube, Google and the books I download everyday from my Nook have become my classroom. My work towards my venture has been ongoing for MONTHS just couldn't give it all the time it deserved because I had classes to attend. At the time, I...

    I have taken my own advice, which is why I don't go to school anymore lol. I think that goes without saying.

    Have you read this whole entire thread thoroughly? I don't believe you have. Next time you post, please read EVERY SINGLE COMMENT and analyze it before you type on your keyboard. Make no mistake, I'm trying to SAVE my parents money. Goddamn it.

    Did you skip college out of wanting to start your own venture or did you grow tired of academia?

    Which is why I'm not following it. Getting my parents to invest in my venture would cause turmoil, they'd rather put their money into formal education which they believe is truly the best investment. I won't argue with it. I will make it on my own, I have never had trouble making things happen...

    Sounds very Terry McMillan like. Definitely do e-book rather than paperback unless you can quadruple your sales in a very short time which would then mean it's paperback worthy..

    No. People don't buy physical books anymore, and if they do it is for academic reasons or a book that they will want to refer back to later on. Fiction doesn't happen to fall into that category unfortunately. Your best customers will come from the e-book world. Borders shut down for a reason.

    Getting refunded. They're well aware, ma'am. I wouldn't just stop attending on someone else's dime without notifying them first.

    Honestly, not saying that I don't want a degree. I plan on getting a degree and paying for it MYSELF. I want to learn how to be self-sufficient rather than sitting in a classroom and getting a degree and getting paid nearly next to nothing. I think the education system is shitty and these kids...

    So I would have a degree for what exactly? Just an extra piece of paper amongst my documents that cost tons of money that I didn't want my parents to spend. In hindsight, I'll be saving my parents THOUSANDS.

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate these words. Since this post, my father and I have talked and he has been interested in my venture. He still wants me to be in college because he knows that a college degree is a great B plan, still thinking about whether I should continue or not. I haven't...

    Cost to run a startup

    I guess giving up is easier than to keep trying. More money for me.
