Also, the fact that so many jobs don't require a degree (or the degree you were going for), so many people find that they're wasting their time in college and get jobs instead (I did). I quit before I acquired a penny of student loan debt, worked, got jobs that gave me tuition reimbursement and used it to take classes here and there, and managed to do just fine career-wise.

So, while not graduating isn't good, it's also not the catastrophe that it's sometimes made out to be.
