Whaat?! You gots no collidge either?
We wuz wobbed. 
My folks offered a full free ride. They paid for 1st semester, and they said if I didn't fall below a bare minimum C average, they'd pay for the next semester.
But see, I was gonna be a rockstar. I had no interest or time for college. I wanted chicks and weed and beer and heavy metal and no responsibility.
I signed up for a full load, and proceeded to completely sabotage my grade every class. I didn't study, and mostly I didn't show up. Hey, it was school, and nobody was forcing me to go, so I didn't go.
I got my grades for the first semester, and managed a C- (A's in bowling and a 101 English class saved me from and F average). I failed all my other classes, and was put on academic probation.
My folks wanted me to have a college education so badly, they agreed to give me one more chance. I thanked them by skipping every class and waiting until after the cancellation deadline for refunded tuition, and dropped out.
I look back on what a pathetic little a-hole I was and I can hardly believe it. I made choices then that were utterly selfish and self-destructive. I robbed myself of opportunity. I robbed my parents of money and their dream of a college educated first-born son. As a middle aged man, I definitely feel the lack of a college education.
But at the same time I have no real regrets. I had a helluva lot more fun than people usually have, for a lot more years than people usually get before life has its way with them. My wonderful children and wife are the result of a life well-lived, and those years of poor choices are part of that life, so to regret it too deeply would be to regret what my life has become, and I cannot do that. It took me a while, and I went an extremely atypical route, but I am who I am now, and on balance, that's a good thing.
ETA: I did go back to get an audio production degree when I was 40 though.
