• One should never volunteer an answer unless asked. If you are asked that question, do not respond that you dropped out. Be legitimate that you had left to pursue employment opportunities that match your career goal in mind and that you plan to return to obtain your degree nights or weekends if possible. Your plan is to create a win-win situation for you and the company you plan to work for.
  
  Good luck in your career goals.
