Answer 1

your setting your sel up for a career in "would you like frys with that"

Answer 2

You will learn a whole lot more about life and the world by working and travelling than by attending college. I'm graduating in May and looking back I can say I've learned much more about things than my time in college (I'm graduating from a very fancy university, too, and I still say that).

My advice: work had for a year to save up for the rest of college. Try to get into Ohio U and finish college after working. Think about spending a semester abroad once you're back in school. Or you can even think about working in Europe and then coming back to Ohio for school.

If you are simply planning on being a mom you may not need four years of school and a BA or BS. You can finish at the CC and get your associate degree. I'm a big fan of stay-at-home-mommying and if that's your plan its not a bad one. Just whatever you do don't live only for yourself until you are 30 and then suddenly realize its time for a family. After 22 your fertility starts declining. I wish especially girls would know that it's important to start thinking about families and kids a little earlier than society encourages them. Don't wait until you're "ready" whatever that means. Being a mom (or for me, a dad) is the most important thing you will be. Make that your focus. But by all means work, travel, and experience the real world now so that you can soon settle down and have a family before you are 30.

Answer 3

Consider going part time. Or take just a class or two. This will make it easier to stay enrolled, but give you some flex time to work and travel. Then you can take summers off.

I did this. I once took just a single class. With community college that was much more easy.

Do I think you should quit college? That's really up to you to think about. Will you go back, it's not as easy to answer, you may find a job you like and earn good cash and decide it's not worth it. So try sticking with 1-2 classes.

Answer 4

no matter how hard it would be for you, i think you should push through and finish college. doesn't matter where you finish it, so long as you finish it. Because after that you'll be working forever.
Be a bit more patient and force yourself to finish. And after finishing it you can work full time and maybe more, you can earn good money (from being a degree holder) and go to europe.

Just make a little more effort on that english class. Since you've managed to pass all the other subjects, you will too on this one. College, is a sort of getting ready to live. And when you go out and try to live without knowing how to live, it would be more difficult for you. ^_^ So.. What's it gonna be?

Answer 5

You did not say what kind of job you have. Putting things off until a better time has not usually worked out well for me. I hope you tough it out and stick with college now. I am 39 with a kid and job trying to do college and I think it gets allot harder when you are older. I would have done much better when I was 19.

College is hard and crazy studying all this different stuff at once, but once you have got that degree, you are done. Hang in there.

Answer 6

Perhaps, you should speak to a career advisor, or take a career/personality multiple-choice test, to get a clearer view of where your strengths and weaknesses lie. After that, you can figure out which courses - university or community college or technical - you may want to take in the immediate future. Make your goals relevant to the next year to two years - and to the career field which may be more within your reach. It sounds like you should work full-time, and only study part-time, given your level of frustration with your current academic situation.

Answer 7

Take it from me...finish while you can..working full time and trying to go to school is no joke...and youre already having a hard enough time...as for your vacation to europe..guess what? europe will always be there so that can wait..better do it now than to do it later when you have children and a husband working at mcdonalds trying to make ends meet...dont be a fool, stay yo a-ss in school!!

Answer 8

Get a piece of paper, draw a line down the middle. Label the left hand column "Reasons for Staying", label the right hand column "Reasons for Leaving". It will help clarify your thoughts.

Answer 9

College isn't for everyone, if you are really lazy then try to figure out another way to get your degree faster

Answer 10

great idea you should drop out of college wait at least 3 years to go back to college

Answer 11

I think u should stick with what ur thinking, I think it is good that u think before do something too and if u don't want to take that test over again then don't. don't make your self do something u don't want to do. well thats what I think.
