    Luke Combs Dropped Out Of College With Only A Few Credits Left To Pursue Music, “There Was Never A Plan B”

    Well, that’s one way to do it.

    Before he was one of the biggest stars in country music, Luke Combs was just a boy from North Carolina attending Appalachian State University until he dropped out with only 21 credits left until graduation.

    Luke told Taste Of Country back in 2018; “There was never a plan B. I don’t think that’s a smart thing, but I think that anybody that kind of gets to this point, there really isn’t a plan B.”

    Luke also discussed his distain for college in an interview with NBC’s Willie Geist:

    “There was nothing about it that made me want to be like, ‘Man, I gotta get up and go to science class today,’ Nothing about me wanted to go to math or science, you know what I mean? I was just more concerned with drinking and playing rugby and singing. Obviously you can’t drink for a living so that was off the list and then I quickly realized I couldn’t play rugby for a living either, and so there was really only one choice.”

    Throughout the years, Luke has said on numerous occasions that he wanted to be a homicide detective growing up, but when he decided to chase after music full-time, Luke never looked back.

    In the beginning of his pursuit to follow his dreams, a record label in Nashville once told Luke that he’d never make it in the industry and that he needed to be a better songwriter after listening to three of his original songs. Those three songs he played for them went on to become the first three No. 1’s of his career with “Hurricane,” “One Number Away” and “When It Rains It Pours.” Talk about a big screw you.

    Even though it may have not been “smart” at the time, Luke Combs dropping out to pursue music was probably the best decision he ever made. The fans thank him as well.
