Follow your heart. Don't make yourself unhappy to please others. If anything, see if you can compromise. Change your major to something that may help you in real estate, like economics, business, management, or even communications (like public relations). Overall, I think you should follow your heart and do what will benefit you.

There is nothing that says you have to go to school in your case.  Plenty of people are successful without college. You should look at what you want to do for a job and base your decision on that.  Would you go to school if it guaranteed you higher wages in the future and for the rest of your life?  Find your reason for going to school and theres your motivation.  If you don't find a reason, then you might as well save your money.

depends what college. a community college you don't have to graduate but other than that there will probably be a university you can attend as long as your gpa is high enough to graduate

An AS in something specific, such as medical technology or automotive engineering can be a very useful degree.  An AS in something more general still shows you have better education than a high school graduate, and should help you compete with them for jobs that don't require a degree.  For example, you can probably compete for sales jobs where the product is pretty technical if you have an AS that's at all related to the product.  Of course, once you get the job you will only keep it if you can produce, but you can probably get it.

Haha... wow... I know the feeling.\n\nFirst let me say that you haven't wasted your time by going to school for four years. Think of it this way: You now have all of that knowledge that nobody can ever take away from you. Even if you don't use it for a career, the knowledge you've gained will help shape and mold you into a really awesome and well-rounded person. \n\nNow, here's the real message: Don't be afraid to put school on hold for a little while. People overrate college sooo much it's not even funny. I'm almost 21 years old and I've only had one semester of college... but I'm not stupid, and I haven't missed anything - my life has just been different from my friends who went to college immediately after high school. I can definitely say that I'm much more mature than them, and I have a much better idea of what I want to study. Now, going to school is for me - not because someone tells me have to get a degree. I go because I know what I want out of life, and what I want to learn in the process. \n\nSo, in short, it's ok (and might even be healthy) if you take a step back and just get some life experience in without college. You have your entire life ahead of you! What's the rush? Take the time to learn more about yourself (in or outside of school) and you'll eventually stumble on what's right for you. :)

I would not leave college.  a degree is something you can carry with you in any career, even to L.A.\nI'm sure you know, it's not that easy to be an actress. there are thousands of women doing small jobs hoping for their big day.  I dont want to discourage your dreams, but getting a degree is one thing you'll never regret. try to hang in there. u have my support and prayers.

Why not go to school full time and live on grants on loans until you complete your education.  This way when you find a decent job after graduating, you'll still live on "just enough" to get by (after loan payments) but at least you'll have a college degree and earnings potential.

Why in the world did you apply for the job if you were still in school and planning to continue?  I'm guessing you 1.) didn't think you'd get the job or 2.) didn't want to finish college in the first place.\n\nSo, what's the deal?  Do you need the money for college?  Are you hoping to get a degree in something to better your life?  Are you in a position where you can take night classes?   What are your goals?  How can you best reach your goals?\n\nYou seem like a smart enough sort of kid.  You seem to write fairly well -- which is a lot to say on this site.  I don't know what you were thinking when you went for the job.  \n\nI'd say to go for the education.  It only gets harder down the road.  Talk with the people who hired you and tell them you've decided to finish your education.  Maybe they'll have a place for you in management when you finish school.

do you have a degree to back this all up? with out the degree you wont get where you want or even deserve to be.\n\nIf you have your degree then go to a collage or training program and ask for the "job test" it is where you sit and answer a million questions, then they put your answers in the computer and the computer tells you where you would be good at. Then you can find a job in what your best at.\n\nif you dont have a degree, then consider school for another 4 years and get your degree, you should complete it fairly fast if you already know it all.\n\nGood luck.

Any degree will help you get a secure job.  It shows you are dependable and willing to work towards something.  It also shows you can complete things once they get started :)

Why Get a College Degree?\n\nKnowledge, Skills, and More Opportunities\nIf you go to college, you'll gain information and skills that you'll use for the rest of your life, no matter what career you chose. College will enable you to:\n\n    * Expand your knowledge and skills\n    * Express your thoughts clearly in speech and in writing\n    * Grasp abstract concepts and theories\n    * Increase your understanding of the world and your community\n\nWhat This Means for You\nThe benefits above may sound great on their own, but college also has some very practical benefits:\nMore Job Opportunities\n\nThe world is changing rapidly. More and more jobs require education beyond high school. College graduates have more jobs to choose from than those who don't pursue education beyond high school.\n\nEarn More Money\nA person who goes to college usually earns more than a person who doesn't. According to the US Census Bureau, on average, someone with a Bachelor's Degree earns $51,206—almost double the $27,915 earned annually by someone with only a high school diploma.\n\nWhy Not Go to College?\nMany students are unsure about going to college, for many reasons. Below are five we've heard before, and why they don't hold water.\n\n1. "I Can't Afford It."\nMost students get financial aid to help pay for college, and most aid is based on need. This means that the less money you have, the more aid you might get.\n\n2. "Nobody in My Family Has Ever Gone."\nBeing first can be hard. For instance, you may have to explain to the family why college is important to you. On the other hand, being first is likely to be a source of pride, for you and for your family.\n\n3. " I Don't Know What I Want to Do with My Life."\nJoin the crowd. Thousands of college freshmen haven't decided on a major or on a career. College gives you the opportunity to learn more about what's out there. You'll be exposed to a variety of academic subjects, people, and new perspectives.\n\n4. "College Is Too Hard for Me."\nMost students think college will be too hard for them. Keep in mind, all colleges offer tutoring and student support. As confident as some students seem, no one goes to college knowing everything—if they did, why would they go?\n\n5. "I Just Won't Fit In."\nMost colleges have students from many backgrounds. To get an idea of what to expect, explore colleges with College Search, or better yet, visit in person. Be sure to ask about the make-up of the student body, and if they have clubs and activities that you're interested in joining.\n\nIt Doesn't Have to Be a Four-Year College\nIf you're not sure about college, or which college, consider attending a community college. Community colleges are public, two-year schools that provide an excellent education, whether you're considering an associate degree, a certificate program, technical training, or plan to continue your studies at a four-year college.

I would go for the tests. A degree is more important than your present job, as it will open up more opportunities.

Who cares how it looks to other people? You should be proud of yourself. At least you are trying. It doesn't matter if it takes you 10 years to complete college, at least you haven't given up. That says something great about your character. My sister had a baby her second year in college, so it took her an extra year and a half to finish, but she did it, and so can you. I know you don't know me, but I am proud of you! You are setting a great example for anyone who wants to go to college and make something of themselves. Keep up the good work, and pat yourself on the back. Here, I'll pat for you (pat, pat, pat!)......Take care......

get your degree then go pursue the entertainment career.  It will still be there when you have your degree in your hand.

i went through a lot before i settled on mine...which is communications. I now realize thats a BS degree and i wish i had picked English, which is what I love. Basically you need to do something you like rather than just pursue the degrees that are going to make you money. You can get a great job after school is over, but if you are miserable is it worth it?

You're experience typical college burn out blues.\n\nMy advice: bite the bullet and get it over with, so you can get on with your life.\n\nIf you drop out now, I predict other distractions will grab your attention, and you'll end up postponing even further what remains of your degree completion.
