Buck up and finish the year. Discipline is good for you.\nBet you didn't want to hear that. Let me explain a bit for you. You've already gotten the loan for your semester or year, or paid for it, why waste good money just because you're bored.  Finish the time, then go find a job. Any old job will do, and without a degree any job is exactly what you have to take. After you've busted it at work for a few months college is going to look mighty fine and you're going to regret wasting that time and money, but, if you finish the semester it's not wasted you still have that and now you can go back and finish college like you wanted to in the first place. You're smart, don't be dumb.

I would go to straight to college, I think if you leave it for a while, you will get out of the habit of school.  Please go to college. My daughter did'nt go straight to college, and still keeps saying she will.  This is 2 years later.  Good luck in whatever you choose to do

College is a means to an end.  You need to decide what you want to do with your life first, then you will know whether or not you have to attend college to receive training for that endeavor.  If you decide to be a plumber, then you shouldn't go to college but should join the local plumber's union and get into an apprenticeship program for plumbers.  If you decide to be a teacher, then you will need a degree.\n\nIt all depends on what you want to do, my friend.  Make that search a valuable one and spend some time really asking yourself what your strengths are, what your weaknesses are, and how you can exploit your strngths and overcome your weaknesses.  Life is too short to be working at something that bores you and makes you unhappy.  You probably have much to contribute to mankind and to society by becoming trained as something worthwhile.  That may or may not include a college education.  Just try to pick a career or profession that you believe you will be able to do for the next 30 years, make a difference, and look back then to say that you have no regrets.\n\nGood luck, my friend.

Well I'm sure that a lot of these people are going to tell what a mistake it is to drop out of school. I'm not! I encourage it for you. The reason being, that only a Moron would even consider such a thing. I sure can't see wasting hard earned tax dollars on a moron. So start flipping dem burgers and find you a place out at Barney's trailor park  and have a nice life.

First let us know what kinda problem you are facing.\nIf you have having problem with your prof., it is not wise to quit the college. You can talk to them/HOD, etc. 'Cos everywhere this problem exists. \nLet us know the problem and it will be easy to give you a solution.\nAs far as i consider, do not quit now. Cos by this time you must have completed 2nd yr. If you join freshly in another col. You have to go thru the 2 yrs again. Talk with your parents and also your friends and take a descision.\nDont waste time.

Hi I would like to give my opinion to help you. First of all I know the stress you are talking about. I was in my masters degree program and it was a LOT of reading, writing and field work. I have however since graduated and am very happy that I finished. On the other spin of things I have quit student teaching for certification because it was very miserable. I decided to take my degree and use it other than a public school. I realized that if something is that miserable, depressing and you have absolutely no joy in it, then leave it. You can always change your mind and come back years down the road. It's okay to quit if you don't like it and are burned out in the major. If you quit you might want to explore other options or majors. Volunteering in different organizations will allow you to get a "taste" of how jobs and careers really are in the real world.\n\nSounds to me like you should quit, but I am not going to make this decision for you. I know the misery, and extreme stress you go through and it's not worth it to stay in. If your ultimate goal is to teach college level, then I would say stick to it because you need your masters to get your doctorate.\nIf you don't want to teach college, why don't you try teaching at a private school? Or even try leaving for this semester and coming back next fall. Take a break, or change careers. If you aren't happy now, then you won't be happy in the real world.

I wouldn't do it.. it's better to go to a physical real school.  You'll probably get a better education at a community college, and save yourself a few thousand bucks in the deal.

Stick with it. But make sure that you get a place of yours & yours alone. (I hate myself for trying to live with roommates again.) You've come this far, and it will only be harder to go back to school. It's an accomplishment to be accepted to grad school and it's an accomplishment to make it through a year in an awful living situation. You know full well that "what" you major in doesn't neccessarily determine the work that you'll do. Try to change your study habits (even the type of notebook you take notes in can help change your attitude a little.) Finishing grad school will provide many more prosperous opportunities. Chances are you'll want the education just as much as you did before once the stress clears.

My advice is not to plan out your entire future right now. When you get to college (and go anywhere you want--choose a place you like for lots of reasons, not just their psych department), try lots of things. You might find you like something else better.

Good luck with that one.  Try talking with a counsellor at the school you are planning on attending.

There is nothing a bunch of strangers can say that is going to really help you and you can ask until you get the answer that you want.  \n\nYOU have to make this decision.  Is there anything that you can do that will make this better? What about it do you hate?  Is it the school - could you transfer?  Is it medicine - maybe you should try another area of it?\n\nYou really have to disect it and find out what is wrong otherwise you won't be happy just by quiting.

Leaving school is not the answer.  If you did that, what would you do next? Feel too depressed to get a job, or get a minimum wage job that you hate and gee...the people there treat you badly too.  Imagine that.  \n\nYOU are the problem, kiddo.  You need therapy.  You are just full of self-pity.  "Oh, I don't want to hurt people...but I'll let them ALL use me like a doormat.  That's ok."

Finish uni, you might regret it in the future if you quit now. If you don't finish, you might be asked at a job interview what you did for those 2 years and it wouldn't look good if you said you just gave up your degree. A year goes by faster than you think.

Stick with it & try not to hurt any of the younger set in your classes! I started college at 30 &, even then, found myself ready to throttle some of the kids in my classes. Personally, I found the difference in maturity to be the hardest thing to deal with when attending college at an older age :)\n\nGood luck!

Go to a real local college in your state rather than some nameless one in what you think is a cooler place.  You can get away after you get an education.
