Had a bit of an existential crisis today
"NUE DIS ISNT UR BLOHG"
idgaf, the Flood seems like an appropriate place to vent considering I don't have anyone else to talk to today.
So just a bit of background information; I'm at University doing Business and Economics and work two jobs. Today was a funny day though, because I recently discovered two of my friends will be dropping out of my course after this semester, and it really just caught me off guard. These two friends had coincidentally been high school buddies as well, so to have them not there after the year was a shock to the system. It also made me realise I wasn't at Uni to learn or obtain an education, I was just there for banter and high school nostalgia.
I don't know whether I should drop out as well. I don't mind the course, I'm just not passionate about it. I don't have any other skills so if I do drop out all I'll have to fall back on is work, which I'm not too keen on either. Any advice?

College isn't for everyone. At the same time, it definitely gives you a leg up as far as careers go. I have a similar feeling. I'm in engineering and I have one year left. Unfortunately I only now realize how much I dislike what I'm doing with it. I'm going to finish up and get a decent paying job while I figure out what I really want to do. At the very least I'll have the extra money to fuel my interests.

2 RepliesEdited by BannedPiranha: 2/21/2014 3:47:25 PMThat's not exactly what I'd call an existential crisis. Just part of getting old. If you don't enjoy your major I would recommend looking into a different major before you drop out.

2 RepliesI'd stick it out, even if the degree isn't in something you enjoy or intend to follow as a career, it still shows a lot of good things about you. Namely that you are able to go and get a degree. It would also set you up fairly well for any future promotions/entering higher up in a company. How far through it are you?

Edited by Progo: 2/21/2014 3:29:04 PMWill you be able to make money if you drop out? Don't go for failure just because your friends are. If you do want to drop out, make sure you are doing it because there is something you are passionate about that you will pursue, it's infinitely better than any amount of money if you are following your dream, just don't end up frustrated and broke because you dropped out without a plan.

1 ReplyI think you should drop out and follow your dream of being a lion taming tight rope walker in a clown suit.

3 RepliesWhat are you passionate about? If you're at a Uni, I'm sure they have a course tailored toward what you would rather do in life.
