No, that's out of the question. I'm not planning on being a "entrepreneur" I have quite a few choices that I have in the next 2-3~ years, my dad and his friend are starting a buisness for converting software for plants and I don't want my life to go down that road. I'd rather major in anthropology.

You know, Sassy, you could go with digit insurance. I knew a guy who had a mittful of nubs, including his toes, because he'd lop one off every so often when he ran short on cash-- too much month at the end of the paycheck kinda thing. No lie, he had nub insurance that covered him in the event he was careless in his work as a band saw operator. Anyways, while you are starting out at a deficit, you still have 19 (there's that magic number!) left to cut off or lose in various industrial "accidents." More than enough to get you by for the next couple of years if you are frugal with your money.
Give it some thought. Given your loathing towards those in the medical profession, this may be right up your alley.

The infamous "software for plants" program. Quite controversial.
Anthro is a cake walk. They'll let anyone who can walk upright into that major.
Well, here's the deal. You have no idea what you want to do with your life, but you do realize that you've missed out on an education, which is a start.
Go to the community college, explain your situation, and enroll in some remedial classes to bring yourself up to speed. After that, get the general education requirements that all colleges are going to require out of the way. By that time you should have some ideas about what you want to study as a major.
Just take it one step at a time.

That would be cultural anthropology!!!

My advice? Before you try to move on to college, take an adult education course. It will help you catch up on what you need, it can get you either a diploma or a GED and will bring you up to speed so that you will not struggle as much with jumping straight into college courses.

If you couldn't jump through the easy hoops to get a diploma and graduate highschool what makes you think you can do it for college or in a real career in the real world?
Age has nothing to with making it in college. I went back at 29 and graduated third in my class. You have to want it and you will do fine. Of course you can't even decide a major so I forsee a paper or plastic future for you.

Just FYI for the people who said I didn't try in high school, I screwed off for my first 3 years, I think I had 3.5~ Credits. In my senior year they told me I had two choices, A) get 13.5 Credits in 1 school year. B) Die. I chose option A then I got 13.25 credits, and they switched principles and the old one told me I would be able to go for being a Super Senior with 16-16.75 credits. Then the new principal told me to F'off and I got screwed out of a years worth of busting my ***.

Your right, the hoops in highschool where full of pedantic automatons. I'd rather read the Illiad than The Giver for the 17th time but they had a problem with that in my reading class so I gave up.
That's a bullsh'it excuse that will leave you lying flat on your face the first time you get a prof you dont enjoy in College.
If you can't muster the effort needed to complete a report on a book that you have done '17 times' (and therefore should know front to back) what makes you think you are gonna be able to dig indepth say into the allegorical nature of Moby ****.

I'm not very good at being smart on the internet so excuse me for being a moron, I guess it comes with the job of being Hellboy on a internet forum.
I guess you'd guys would be happy to know that I'm probaly going to be quitting computer outside of work so I'm not gonna have time to raid you and make *** posts anymore.

I need to read Moby Richard, is that like a sequel to Moby Dick?

Aside from the odd Associate Degree program, community colleges exist for exactly this purpose. They let people save some money by getting their Gen Ed classes out of the way; and they provide a means for people to re-enter the education stream.
No need to rush. Quite the opposite, in fact.

In all your future endeavours, I hope you fail.

Learn how 2 lern nub!
There would be no need to re-read the book, only to peruse relevant sections in order to get the work assigned in the second class done.
You really are a stunned ****, aren't ya?

That's still a pretty lame reason to completely derail yourself. You'll always have to deal with adverse academic situations. Heck, it's part of the college experience, so best get used to it.

Wait. I thought your excuse was "massive social anxiety" whateverthefUck.
Take some online classes if you feel your social anxiety would be an issue for you to go back to school. A lot of community colleges in the US now offer degrees online. Just make sure the colleges are accredited. And a lot of the community colleges also offer basic Math and English. Good luck.
On an aside, just when I thought I was done getting my last degree, I have decided to go back to school. Not for a degree this time, but to take some classes in intellectual property law to expand my paralegal job-searching fields.

My only problem with re-reading it was I HAD to read it with the class. 5 pages in 30 minutes is REALLY hard to handle...
