[quote=Anonymous]3.0 isn't that bad. My brother literally stopped going to class freshman year. 0.0 GPA. My parents pulled all funding, which I don't think he was expecting. He stayed around his college and got a job that summer in a factory (with no A/C in the South). After that summer he decided he did not want to spend the next 50 years working in a factory and wanted to go back to school. My parents told him to keep working for a year. He was so poor at one point that he ate PB&J until he couldn't afford PB anymore and then started shooting squirrels in his backyard for protein. My parents were hardcore, and wanted him to REALLY want it. They knew that if they just paid for it, he wouldn't really be motivated. After 1.5 years, he did go back to school and earned a degree in engineering. He went on to grad school for engineering. My Dad has told me it was the hardest things he'd ever had to do to cut him off financially like that. [/quote]
