I studied acting for five years. I quit college at that point. You know, I go hard. When I know I’m supposed to go in a direction, I’m fully committed and I go all the way. Everything falls to the side and I’m all in. So I completely dove into acting even though I was almost 30. – Sonja Sohn
I’m not even an engineer. I don’t have a college degree; I hire guys with college degrees. – Woody Norris

I received my draft notice right after graduation from college and had three months before going into the Army in September to think about it. – Tim O’Brien

It was a very long and hard decision. My dad kept telling me, ‘You can always go to college, but you can’t always go pro.’ That made sense to me. – Simone Biles
In America, if you want to make it as a golfer, you go to college on a scholarship. In Australia, you go to the airport with a plane ticket. The competition just isn’t there. – Stuart Appleby
I always give the example, if you turn on the radio today, black radio, Lenny Kravitz is not black. Bob Marley wasn’t black: in the beginning, only white college stations played Bob Marley. – Spike Lee
I cook often when I am at home but not in college. I do it alone. It is just very relaxing to me. Just about anything that I like to eat, I can cook – chicken, salmon, stir fry. I like to cook seafood or burgers the most when I am entertaining. – Simone Manuel
My professional apprenticeship at Iowa State College from 1930 to 1943 could not have been better; the Great Depression made it so, and the talented younger economists at Ames during that period made it an exciting and profitable intellectual experience. – Theodore Schultz
I was only going to go to college because that’s what I thought you were supposed to do. – Spike Jonze
I have seen extreme lows because of factors that were not in my hands – be it not having money to buy my first bike, dropping out of a prestigious engineering college without having a single rupee in my bank account, living with seven boys in a single-room kitchen in Mumbai, or eating nothing but khichdi every day. But I cherish all those moments. – Sushant Singh Rajput

I had been pulling my groins in college a lot and missed my whole freshman year of college because of groin pulls. It was chronic, and I couldn’t figure it out. I went to the doctor, and he told me I had hip dysplasia. So I knew my hockey days were sorta limited at that point. – Wyatt Russell
The girl that introduced The Smiths’ song ‘Asleep’ to me was an important musical influence that I met in college. From there it’s been an ongoing journey of different bands at different times, introducing bands and songs to me. – Stephen Chbosky
I thought I was going to be a theater actor. I moved to New York after college and did some plays and worked a lot. Once the realities of living as a theatrical actor hit me, I realized I wanted to start making a little bit of money and not have to bartend and work in theater. – Zachary Knighton
I could count my modeling jobs on my hands and toes. When I graduated from college, I moved to New York specifically to study acting, and I needed to pay the bills, and it’s better to make a couple thousand dollars in one day than to wait tables six days a week. – William Baldwin
I was raised as an upper-class WASP in New England, and there was this old tradition there that everyone would simply be guided into the right way after Ivy League college and onward and upward. And it rejected me, I rejected it, and I ended up as a kind of refugee, really. – Spalding Gray
I’ve always thought of myself as a cattle-handling specialist, a college professor first; autism is secondary. – Temple Grandin

I debated free trade in college. I came out as a free trader. I’m a free markets guy. I’m an Adam Smith guy. – Sam Wyly
Along with some of my college friends, I would often bunk classes and drive to Murthal, which is about 50 km from New Delhi, just to have some piping hot parathas.
