College is way too time-consuming and expensive to not be happy with what you are doing.  If you are more comfortable doing piano then I'm sure your parents won't care that you do that and would want you to nail down what you want AND be happy.  Go for Jazz!

See i dont know how old u are, so Id say contact the school u went to and see what alternative THEY can give you. If not, like someone said, go 2 the nearest community college, because MOST of them have the program. Also, u can go o job corp. I have a close friend of mine who went there and he said it was a good experience 4 him

Quit.  You shouldn't have to deal with that.  Find a better job with similar pay, or go back to school!  Every state has programs that will help you support yourself while in college.  You should take advantage!

I did CC in high school, and it was the worst time i've ever had in my life even though i was the top runner. i think you should quit track. it realy doesn't sound like you're having a good time of it. i wish someone would have made me quit CC--my life would have been so much better!Waaay too much pressure. I've learned that all the things in HS i thought were such huuuge problems really aren't that big of a deal. If you want to talk sometime, i'm here. As for the phone thing....it won't last forever. Use the time you would've talked to friends to write in a journal, figure out things in your life.

I recommend that you give the real reasons but that you try to do so without assigning blame\n\nDear Headmaster Soandso,\n  It was with the intention of helping children who deeply need the specialized attention this institution was concieved to provide that I accepted this post. (Here detail the things you had hoped to do and how excited you had been about the potential value of the programs)Over time, I have found that it is impossible to meet that goal here and so with great regret, I must give notice that effective January 1, 2007, I will be resigning.\n  Yours very truly, etc, etc.\n\nYou can cross a bridge without burning it. When you are applying for similar positions in the future, explain your departure from this school as gently as you can without lying... something like "I did not feel that there was enough opportunity there for me to really meet the needs of the children entrusted to our care"\nGood luck.

I'd say your best bet would be to give up your profession.\nAnd get into the grind for youself.  You know what 'they' say.  Experience is the best teacher.  Than you'd surely know how to keep your bitches ignorant and happy at the same time.

The only thing I can say is keep your eyes on the prize!  You want that second degree for some rational reason, or you wouldn't be putting yourself through the stressful (yet gratifying) pursuit of higher education.  I got through nursing school (my 2nd degree and 5th and 6th years of consecutive college) by knowing that I was getting married as soon as it was over, and I was going to work in a pretty cool field.  I was so sick of school when I was done, but so glad it was over with.  I had a nice 3 year break to work full time before I became a full time student again for my masters degree.  It's daunting and stressful, but I really want it, so I work for it.  You have to do what you have to do.  If you really do feel burned out, you probably aren't learning the material well, and the whole point of school is to learn, not just go through the motions.  Just be sure that it is ok to miss a semester with your program.  I know some programs have a pretty strict schedule from semester to semester and it can set you back pretty far if you take one off (like a spring class is a prerequisite to a fall class, etc).  I liked the advice someone else gave about working in a field related to what you're studying.  Not only will it help you realize if you still really want to pursue it, but it gives you real world views on the field and something to put on your resume.  Then again, if you feel the only way to spend your time off is something fun and crazy like backpacking through Europe for a few months, more power to ya!  You're only young once.  Good luck with your decision!

If your into to keeping diaries and track of your food intake, it is a great program. I think the charges to join and continue going to the meetings is too high though. I joined and when I got my diary, points book, weight on their scale, I never went back. I don't need any support - some people do. I lost over 20 pounds and have kept if off. I still have all  my supplies so if I gain a few pounds over the holidays, i can go back to counting points. Of course, when you reach your goal, you cannot go back to your old eating habits. You have to eat the types of food and portions of food you did when following the diet.  Good luck - will power is the way to lose weight with or w/o weight watchers.

I don't have a suggestion, but hang in there!  It will pay off in the end and you will be extremely happy that you stuck with it.

Don't jeopardize a lifelong career over this. It would be wonderful I know, but you can't afford to take that chance. You've worked too long, and too hard to risk it. Later, something might change, but  for now, NO!

If your current job is dealing with nursing you shouldn't quit.\nNursing school is not that easy. Maybe you can work a part time job to still make money

You are right...wrong attitude.  Figure out why you think "life sucks."  Are you cold, hungry, abused?  If not you have a great start in life but you must work at it.  Most of us do that are merely the poor or average majority.  Get with the program.

I have never considered quitting my job.. but I have considered a tech school that is less demanding in the hours you have to attend.. (My children are small, so I have been full focus on them and public schools for many years)..\n\nBut when I do begin to expand my education, I plan to take some on-line courses.. I work with a college teacher now that does 1 day in the class a week and the rest of the studies she broadcast out online and has an automated grading system she can access from her laptop.. so for convenience of location.. that's what I would chose.\n\nBut there are many grants available for small businesses and for many types of industries that have a lack of people in their field...The best advice I could give I've told a few other times in here.. Go to a grant writing class..that will help you receive a lot of funding that is just waiting for you to write a letter in the way that appeals to the giver... (Sometimes it's not what you write but how you write it.)\n\nIt is scary...but worth it to face what frightens you will make you more powerful to conquer other things later without being so frightened...Good Luck to you!!

Yes, you should talk to a different worker or counselor.  Her answer was condenscending--not to mention wrong.

I'm a droppout myself and I don't reccommend it but you just go to the guidance dept and tell them you won't be coming back\nThat's that...but if I was you I would check out some "alternative" learning choices....I just wanted to add that just b/c you're a dropout doesn't mean you're a failure...there are some people that will tell you that you are..but as long as you get your diploma or GED eventually then you'll be fine...also I dropped out when I was 16 and have been working full time eversince that day...it's not a fun life...especially when you have to work and all your friends have a PD day at school and are going shopping or something...but for alot of people the traditional school system isn't the way to go..there are many different "alternative" schools...homeschooling and online courses..the world is your oyster

You should be happy with what you do.. you spend a good majority of your day at "work".  Personally I am in the process of replacing my "job" with a work at home program. (Not get rich quick... but a legit business that with time and committment... I will NEVER have to listen to another boss tell me what, when or HOW to do something).\n\nInterested in the possibility of changing the direction of your future and possible starting your own home business contact me through yahoo 360 or IM.
