you may as well finish what you've started and just because you've done a degree in one subject does not mean you'll go into a job related to your degree - its just a degree, it will show that you are more educated than those that don't have degrees. You can do anything you like when you are done at uni, there are graduate jobs out there that don't require you to have studied a particular subject at uni.

If I was you I'd finish it.
It looks good to employers that you finished something.
You'll have a degree that will get on onto a fast track for future training in industry.
Also you might be surprised. After you finish and have a few months out you might feel better about it and feel you want to go back in.
If you can't go on then you'll have to leave. You don't really have a choice in that case. Tell your parents. Explain it to them. Its not the worst thing that could happen.
You're not a herion addict about to move in with a transexual forty years your senior and begin a life of crime robbing post offices.
Everyone will survive. I promise

finish but while you are taking the required courses maybe take a course or two of something that you think might interest you. There are lots of people with double majors or majors and minors. There is nothing wrong with that. Shoot before I even finished junior college it took me a120 units to figure out what direction I wanted to go in and when I finished the university I had a biology and accounting degree.

If you know what you want to do, complete your program BUT DO NOT APPLY TO GRADUATE. Instead, tell an academic advisor that you want to do a double-major program. This will allow you to use the credits from your original major as the elective credits for your second major, as long as you don't apply for graduation before you complete the second degree. Double majors look great on resumes.
If you don't know what you want to do, stick it out. Finish the degree, apply for graduation, and get a crap job while you "find yourself". How you're going to find yourself while you work at KFC is beyond me, but there's no reason to waste three years of education!

Go and get that degree. Many students don't go for work in the subject area they've studied, but at least you'll have a good chance of getting employment in any sphere. Many organisations like the degree status!

it's your last year to drop out now would be a waste so try and stick it out, if you really don't want to do anything afterwards go on a different course...
it could be the fact that you are nearly finished and it is scary that now you have to go out into the BIG bad world but if you feel like you really cant continue it on then quit, but it would be a waste

Get the degree and FINISH -- this is just the last blues -- you have already toughed it out -- so finish!!!! To leave now would leave you with NOTHING to work with or to have a decent job with -- and you can always go back part time while working and explore different fields!

Nah, don't drop out. Go and speak with your collge advisor and explain what you're feeling.
If that doesn't help, go to your university placement office. They'll have tons of suggestions for a career with the major you've taken that you may not have even considered.
Perhaps you simply have a case of senioritis. It does exist, you know.
Good luck.

Finish the course and get your degree. You can then decide what you want to do. Any degree is an asset and many people follow unrelated careers.
