I want to drop out of college because I'm unhappy with it. I don't think I really absolutely need a degree to do what I want. My goal is to work in a computer/network security or general (*nix) sysadmin position. Help me form a plan to a happy and successful life without a degree.

Help-me-open-a-curry-restaurant-franchise-Filter. There is an incredibly popular Curry House restaurant franchise here in Japan (over 1000), (CoCo Curry Ichibanya) There are also a handful in Hawaii. I want to bring this to the contiguous US. I live in Japan. I have little money, some good connections, I've been writing letters to everyone, have good credit. Can I get small business loans for stuff like this? Anyone out there tried something like this... I would love to hear stories, anyone opened a McDonald's franchise, or tried to move foreign franchise to the US. Thanks everyone.

I am planning a bachelor party in January. The groom-to-be would like to go to Mexico to chill out, drink some beers, smoke some ganja, sit by the pool, eat some good Mexican food served by hot women, and sleep in a very nice bed. Where can this be done in Mexico? I guess I am looking for an all-inclusive resort that is laid back, lacking kids ( both little and college ), which has reasonable nightlife in the vicinity. Think Spring Break for well-heeled 30 year olds who have seen enough strippers and tequilla for a lifetime
