Forget college for now. You can always return in a few years if you see the need. The real education is out there... Travel, live in islands, take trains, etc... there is plenty of work in lots of wonderful places. Explore and find yourself. Many people wish that they were doing something else. how do you know what you want your whole life to be, you have only seen 18 years (about i'm guessing). Live for a few years and discover who you really are... That is the path to happiness later in life...

How many people do you know that even have that option? If I were you I would definitely persue my masters. If you can handle having a job at the same time then go for it. But if you can't then quit..I dont think you would be burning bridges if you explain the scenario.

Everybody dreams of getting something. It depends on how much you really want it. \n\nIf you really want it so much, then challenging classes shouldn't be a problem. Tackle it head on and when you manage to breeze through it, imagine the satisfaction you'll get from it!\n\nI'm going through a similar situation and because I want it so badly, I'm sacrificing a year more to be in college to get to the degree.\n\nSo ultimately you gotta ask yourself, how much do you want to fulfill that dream of yours? And keep in mind, not everyone get the chance to pursue their dream degree. If you got the chance, grab it and treasure it!  =)

Get financial aid. Also, start out at a community college. Keep your grades way up (try to change those B's to A's), and when you transfer to a 4 year college or university, a scholarship will be very possible. Don't give up on college. Go to a university admissions couselor. Ask her/him what your options are. If you have good grades, they want a student like you in their college, especially if you leave their school beaming about how they helped you reach your dreams. Good luck!

Hi, you know we all different.  And it's really what makes us happy we should go with.  I can't actually wait to go back to school because I love it, I need to get more and more knowledge.  And I want to have my own business and for that I will go to Uni and study how the things work.  In your case you probably born leader and smart with a money and surroundings so good on you.  And you probably will run your company if you need without any study.  So consider yourself lucky and good luck with your future.

i think u should follow your heart, but at the same timeb considerate of others mayb find within y u joined in the first place, then if that doesnt work just find what u really need to do. U can stay to support "the team" or you can leave because u no longer want to b a part of it. Just go wit ur gut.

In the long run? Nope. \n\nI advise you to get a student loan and live without extraneous responsibilities like mortgages for a while - enjoy life, and educate yourself in your formative years in a way that only people without heavy responsibilities can do - what if you want to travel, or move in with a lover in that time? The essence of education is autonomy, travelling light and discovering the world, not being tied down to some place you bought two years ago. Move around the city in which you study. Meet new people, live with them, see how other people live. I won't labour the point - I think you get the idea.\n\nThen graduate with a great degree and eventually when you can put it off no longer get a mortgage at lower interest rates because you have a degree and therefore more earning potential than someone without one.... don't worry, once you have your degree you will be earning loads more and you will have had a great fancy-free time at university and stories to tell your future employers in interviews. It is important to be agile and be able to move around early in your career, sampling different experiences.\n\nI am from England by the way, so assuming you live in the USA it may be a bit different.

The best option will be different for everyone. It will depend on who you are. what you want. What do you enjoy, what are you good at. What do you exspect from life? What level of education will you be able to afford.

Chances are, they did it for your own good.  I was in the same situation when I was your age.  I finished going to school and got my degree.  They didn't want you to screw up your future.  You'll have more power to do what you want once you've got school squared away.  Hope this helps. :)

You need to weigh what you have to do now against the result in the end.  Can you afford it?  Some people spend much more than that for college.  If that is what you want to do with your life, and you can afford it, go for it.  There is nothing like going to work and enjoying what you do, regardless of the pay.

I;m in the same boat u are and I think u should follow ur heart if u wanna move then move, if u change ur mind go ahead its what makes u well u. I have a feeling a lot of people are fickle about their future just too scared to admit it. Good luck on whatever u may do.

if you really want math then pursue it but if not then it's time for you to shift to another course. a friend of mine used to tell me this saying whenever i'm in the state of dilemma like yours, i'd rather be a failure at something i enjoy than be a success at something i hate... its up to you now to decide
