Get experience with a real job in your field. It will make you far more employable when you do graduate.

Get some "Hands-On" Experience actually Repairing Electronics. While Consumer Electronic Items are becoming increasingly Disposable, not everything is "Throwaway". I used to Work in the TV Repair Business, and a frequent Point of Amusement to those in the Business has always been Electrical Engineers that couldn't Fix Anything! When was the last Time You Repaired a Radio, or a TV? To Really find out Firsthand how Things Work would, in My Opinion, be "The Best Thing To Do"!

1. Graduate. Grit and bear through it, you cant change such in the last one year and you dont want to throw out 3 years worth of work. \n\n2. Find something enjoyable to do for that one year. take a fun course. pottery or photography or differential mathematics, if you like that kind of thing.\n\n3. Your school might have a psychological or counselling service for free. contact them, they can really help\n\n4. The best thing to do once you graduate with a science major when you are throughly confused is go join the peace corps or something like that for a year. go to underpriviledged countries and teach physics or chemistry. see the world, learn how other people survive. It will make u a better person, it will give you enough time to think about what you want to do with the rest of your life. it will give you a chance to give back to the world, for all it gave to you, It will give you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.\n\nPoint 4 is just an idea and not necessarily sound advice, talk to your counsellor first

Do part evening classes, and part online classes. The online classes will work well for you b/c you can schedule this around your work schedule. \n\nI admire you for going back to get your degree. It's very important. And it's priceless.\n\nGood luck with everything.

You should look into something that draws on your extensive knowledge in your previous field. Perhaps write and e-book for beginers, offer yourself as a Consultant on future projects.\n\nGood Luck

Look for something you own that you can sell.  After you are beyond your crunch, find a job where you can practice the skills you are studying.  This will ensure you a good paying job after you complete your studies.

So if you feel like its holding you back, take a break from it.  Go out to Cali, and try to make it big time!  It's the best thing you can do, yer young & Id say do it now, DONT WAIT & dont be one of those people that wonder "if only .. "  Say things dont work out, you can always go back to college, it'll always be there. But then again, so will the music career. Hmm .. well good luck!

To learn practical electronics, all you have to do is follow a few golden rules. The most important being.... \n\nIf you have a brain the size of a planet, and the manual dexterity of a concert pianist we can start you immediately on assembling microcircuits. (In such a case, this lab is not for you!) If, however, you seem to have the mind of a gerbil and fingers permanently tied in knots we may be able to help you... \n\nFirstly, remember that practical electronics is a skill. (Just like being able to drink two pints of Export in fifteen seconds.) Some people seem to be born with a flair for it, but the rest of us can learn to do it given patience and practice. If you don't know already know how, you will need time to learn to solder, how to lay out circuits, how to read circuit diagrams, etc. The purpose of this course is to give you a chance to learn these things. \n\nAll of the circuits for this course should be soldered onto the boards we have provided. Do not use the “breadboard” (the slab of plastic with lots of holes) on top of the power supply. Although, at this point, you may regard this as gratuitous cruelty, this is only part of the reason. Breadboards are expensive, give poor contacts between components, and are riddled with stray inductances and capacitances which sometimes produce odd effects. Once you have learned how to do it, soldering is a quick and easy way to make dependable connections between electronic components. \n\nWhen you start a lab afternoon, switch on your soldering iron, oscilloscope and signal generator. Leave them on until the end of the afternoon. This ensures that you won't have to keep wasting time waiting for them to warm up. What's more, most electronic equipment wears out faster if you keep turning it on and off, so you're helping to save money on repairs. (O.K., so our electric bill will be higher, but at least it helps keep the lab warm in the winter!) \n\nThe electronics lab works a little differently to the general Physics one. This is because the experiments are designed to be cumulative — things you discover in early experiments are needed for later ones. You should therefore stick to the following general rules:— \n Write your name on the cover of your lab script. The right-hand pages of the script give you instructions about the experiments. Use the ‘blank’ left-hand pages to record you results, write answers to the questions in the text, etc. At the end of the set of lab afternoons this script will be collected and marked. No name, no mark!\n\n\n Read the lab script. Obvious really, why do so many people ignore all these pearls of wisdom? The script gives all the basic instructions and asks some questions and even some of the answers! You will be marked for writing down correct answers to these questions in your write-up.\n\n\n When in doubt - ASK. The electronics demonstrators are there to help you. If you don't understand the lab script, or if your circuit isn't working correctly (or if you aren't even sure what “correctly” is), just ask. You don't lose any marks for asking, but you will if don't ask and end up getting the experiment wrong! If you can't see a free demonstrator you can ask another student. This is particularly useful if they seem to be getting along faster than you (doesn't everyone?). It may reveal that they are just as puzzled as you. On the other hand, they may give you some help. (Answering your questions may also slow them up a bit, and stop them from getting embarrassingly too far ahead of you!) Mind you, a demonstrator might have given you the right answer...\n\n\n Write up your report in the script. Make it clear just what you have done, what the numbers you are writing down mean, and what the answers to any questions are. There is no need for extra bits of paper stuck into the book. If you can't get it all in, you're writing too much. You don't need to re-write the printed instruc

It's simple. Take a break for a year, and go work in the real world in an unskilled, grunt job and barely scrape by on $6 an hour and THEN see how good a college education looks.

Learn a trade, like yard maintenance and hire yourself out. At night take some classes to better educate yourself and finally, stay out of trouble. You can't erase the past, but you can change the future.

Go study with a friend.   Always worked back in the day.

You should critically anaylse your potential and the skills you have got in your graduation annd decide accordingly, either to take a plunge into the corporate world or go for some research work. For a person who has done it in Electronics and COmmunications, the opportunities are a plenty. Reply back with some more specifics.

Just get a tech support job and get your certs and go to college.
