I'm so sick and tired of college. I feel like I have to go to get a good paying job. I feel like as a society eveyone is forcing me to go. Parents teachers, friends, co-workers, everyone asks where did you go to college what are you doing in your life right now. I'm sick of it! I'm happy where I work full-time. Is it the job I had in mind, no not at all, but I'm happy. Will I make as much money if I went to college...probably not, but I'm happy.

I'm tired of school, I already went for 12 freakin years...12 and I'm 20. I just feel like going for 4+ more years is not for me. And no it's not the fact that I work full-time and can't do my HW. I can and do do my HW, whether it's the last minute or not IDC it gets done. I feel stressed when I come home and have stupid HW to do. I'd rather use my time for something I want to do. I don't mean partying or anything like that just something I want to do that could even help my career path. IDK, I'm in community college now and will probably go for another year then a 4 year school for 2 years to wrap it up. Just thinking of this makes me sick to my stomach. I wanted to go to college, I did and now IDK anymore. I really think some people just aren't meant for it. I'm not happy. I gotta go to work now, and make something of myself at least it feels like something good happens while I'm there instead of this so called college.
 
college just isn't right for some people.

you wont really appreciate the college as a way to a higher paying job right now, but you probably will later when you want to be a home owner.
 
I feel for you. I started college this year at 27 and already feel like a caged animal. Constant pressures weigh the mind down. It's depressing not working. Hang in there---or don't. It's a hard call. Every day I think about getting off the bus somewhere random and going back to my old ways. But then I'd have no fish. Darn motivators!
 
Keep in mind, people can get by in life without going to college. You can and will be able to pay your bills for $10-$13 dollars an hour. I have many friends that do so. Some get lucky and get a decent job. A college degree is a must to make any real salary in the future. The ones that realized it isn't enough are now back in college. The thing to remember is whether or not you will be at your current job until you retire. If you can somehow pull it off, you would be one of the lucky few.

I have been in college for going on 8 years. It is a true test of your endurance. Employers understand what it takes. The willingness to stick with it is what really gets you the job.
 
if you can why not take a gap year to relax and do what you want to do. even 6 months may be anough to refresh you.
is it the course your doing that your maybe not enjoying?
failing that can you get distance learning in the states. im doing my management and leadership diploma by distance learning to keep my mind active even though its unlikely i will ever be able to work again.
its far more relaxing than going to college. it does, however, take far longer to do your education. a degree here takes normally 3 years but it anything up to 6 by distance learning.

i hope you find what works for you but remember that its only four years, which in the grand scheme of things is no time at all.
 
The older you get the more complicated your life gets. As time passes you have things like a spouce, children, a home and a decent career that REALLY complicate your life.

You can go to school now where school interferes with your ability to play, or you can go play now and go later when school interferes with your marriage and your ability to raise your kids.

Right now you debate, do homework or go play. When you own a house.. its do homework or make this F***ing shower stop leaking so I can actually take one with out destroying the floors too!
 
You sound like a person who really needs to quit school for awhile. Continue working the job you're currently working for a few more years. Save yourelf some money, because after a few years of working hard for a modest wage, you will probably grow to appreciate what a college degree can bring. You will probably be ready to go to school. I'm speaking from experience. Education opens doors. Besides, how can you place a value on knowledge? Knowledge is priceless. In my experience, my favorite part of going to college was the absorption of knowledge. I knew that the money would come, but I loved the learning part. If you have the option to go to college and you choose not to, you're setting limits for yourself and that's OK, if you can live with the longterm consequences.
 
It's harder to go back to school when your older because you have more demands on your time and many times you have to work also. However the school itself was easier for me because by the time I went back I had a clear idea of what I was going to do with my school and the reward for the time put in is more apparent. I was so sick of working at that ok job (which I was happy with when I was 20) that I couldn't wait to get back in school and finish it so I could move up. Some times you do get lucky and fall into a job which you love and it pays well. But the chances are you'll get sick of what your doing. The school work itself is easier to complete once you get to this point. So do whats right for you right now and hopfully it'll work out in the end.
 
I feel for you, Im in the Navy and go to school part time. I work 50+hours a week and then have to go to school. I also support the local communities with volunteering for everything I can. Its a busy way of life, but In the end I think it will pay off. You just have to suck it up and keep going, 4 years of your life is not much. It feels Like I was 20 years old yesterday, and I am currently 24. I dropped out of my first college when I was your age, and I regret every moment of it.
