Today I just finished my third week of College in my first year and wanted to do a little blog post on my choice to go back to school.

Brief Background – Went to University when I was 19.  Learned how to create websites there and ended up in the poker affiliate business.  I didn’t enjoy University and dropped out for the year to focus on affiliating.  I started making some decent money through affiliate programs in my year off.  Made a post about “Going Back To School” at PAL.

That bring me to where I am today.  At 21 I decided to go to a college here in my home town studying Business Marketing.  In Canada colleges are a little more focused or practical than Universities and generally are 2 or 3 year programs, where Universities are 3 or 4.

What made me make the choice to go back to college? A few different things influenced me to go back.  First, I actually enjoy learning some general things about businesses and even in a short three weeks have learned some stuff that have opened my eyes.  Another was the social aspect of college – it is really easy to meet hot girls people at college.  My parents actually had an influence in me going back as well.  Like most parents they probably don’t understand the opputunites today in internet marketing and wanted me to go back.

Did I make the right decision? I’m really not too sure yet after only three weeks (I will have to blog about it after the years over).  But so far I have learned some stuff that is actual useful and more importantly ;) I have met some hot chicks.  Although I have still been putting in some decent hours into my internet business I wish I could put in more, as I really want to hit my goal of $100,000+ next year.  I am at a level now where I can start to outsource some stuff, so I should be able to balance school with my work and still end up where I want to be…. time will tell.

What do you think?… Did you complete college or not? – and looking back do you like your decision?
