Answer 1

talk to your tutors & see if there's a way of improving your grades. you could ask if it's possible to take a year out & try and get a job doing what you want to do & see how it goes. it's the same with going to university, you don't have to go as soon as you leave college. see what it's like in the world of work if you have the option of going back if you don't like it xxx

Answer 2

Sounds to me like you need to explore other options. Many times there is not just one way to solve a problem. If your car ran out of gas and died, would you just leave it on the side of the road or sell it because it no longer ran? No most likely you would not. You would go get gas for it, because you know that is another solution to the problem, a better solution in fact.

I think right now you are focused on two options, quitting or staying and failing, but you have not explored a third option- staying and working for better grades, at least C's, C's are not failing grades. You can achieve this by finding tutors ans study groups to join that will help you learn these subjects. You see once you quit school, you may never make it back. Finish if you can.

Answer 3

I don't know where you are studying and whether this is possible, but have you considered continuing your studies part-time?

It would take you longer to finish, but maybe it would give you more insight and focus as you'd be working for a living at the same time.

That way you would only be re-sitting some of the exams, you could try working life without a qualification, and you would not immediately become a college drop-out.

Answer 4

Gosh you are mixed up. Sometimes working on the job you get more experience but qualifications always count. Doing your resits you can get help in the areas you are struggling with to get you through and as you say even when building your way up you still have to do courses.I say give it ago, you could try getting a part time job or even volunteer somewhere that will give you a direct insight into the area you are studying which will help you with college work.Don't see yourself as failing you just need a little direction.

Answer 5

I faced the same decision 16 years ago. I dropped out of college. I can't say that it was a bad decision for me, but I do believe it caused me to have a few hard years.

The result for me was that I felt that I constantly had to prove myself because all the people around me had degrees and I didn't. I felt like a failure. Just last month my boss asked me why I can't seem to see myself and my capabilities the way other people see me... meaning that I'm more capable than I believe.

If you leave now, I believe that it will shape who you are for many years to come. I don't know what your capabilities are or where you are going to college, but they let you in because they believed you could do it so I suspect that if you decide it is important you can get B's instead of C's and D's.

If you can get your head around the idea that you need to focus for one more year (or however long) I would highly recommend it. If you can't, you won't succeed anyway so it's time to leave.

Answer 6

Stick with college.

D's and C's are NOT fail mark's in exams. D is the average mark.

At any age you can go to University. Or do an Open University Degree - you do this at home, I'm doing an Access Course at the moment, I started in September I have NOT seen my tutor at all - while working full time.

Answer 7

If you have the option, lighten your course load. That way you can focus more on the classes you are taking and work at the same time. Possibly you can find a hotel in the area of your campus to work in. The pay might not be great but at least you can get your foot in the door and possibly make some contacts.

Answer 8

I would stick with college. Even jobs that don't require a degree are hiring people with degrees. I assume you are in your 20's at the oldest and from experience I can tell you that YOU THAT YOU NEED A COLLEGE DEGREE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE POOR OR ON THE VERGE OF IT, AND STRUGGLE YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

No joke. Stay in school. Once you have your degree no one will know what your grades were anyway. Find a buddy that can help you with your studies. Do whatever you can to stay in college. That is, unless you like being broke all the time.

Answer 9

i think of you'll be able to desire to ask him. in case you're the two keen to have an prolonged distance courting and you're specific you are able to conflict by way of college without getting with all and sundry else then attempt it. it particularly is going to be puzzling and there'll might desire to be a CRAP load of have confidence in touch yet provide it a shot whether it particularly is what y'all the two want.

Answer 10

Do you really have to ask? Its totally your decision where you go in life. If you are getting those types of grades is because you dont want to be there anyway. (trust me, been there done that-school ain't for me) . School has always been something that someone else wanted me to do; family, friends, but turns out I was only in school because they did it or because someone else thought it would fit me. I chose to take my own course and I have found that most MILLIONAIRES learned from other MILLIONAIRES. Experience, not theory. You go to school for what? To be rich? They DO NT teach you that. Its learned from home and if these people are struggling with bills, then why take their advice.

You are what you think.Break free and do what YOU want to do. WHATEVER IT IS! You are creating your reality, not the media, your friends, family, etc--YOU. Hope this helped.
