Dropped out of College

Post Reply New Topic

Absolutely devastated right now. I was so close to graduating too with computer science. I am pretty good at programming, but I heard that no one will hire you unless you have a bachelor's degree.

A part of me is saying maybe it was for the best because college has stressed me out to the point I can't take it anymore. I've had jobs before and I loved it in comparison to college. I just hate that I fell through the cracks like this, despite working so hard. I don't have a car to get a job either and an in $20,000 in debt.

I feel like my life is over, and I'll never find happiness or be able to take care of myself.

I feel for you. Right now, I'm almost done with high school and with 2 months left, I went home and decided to homeschool myself, working with the staff by email. I thought I would like it, but it sucks. It's so hard to get my work done and I can't even enjoy things I used to love.

Even though I know in some ways I've made a mistake, school was really stressing me out too. I think the key is to figure out a balance between the stress and decide what's best for you and your life.

& your life is not over, it's ahead of you. You have to do what's right for yourself & you will find something that makes you happy and doesn't stress you out that offers exactly what you're looking for in life.

Keep positive & good luck.

You might research taking distance courses from a university. I went back to college when I was 27 and took distance courses instead of living on campus, and it was less overwhelming. I hope things work out well for you--unexpected transitions are often quite difficult!

I never went to school, tried college 3 times and dropped out/never went so got kicked out, so now I don't know what to do with my life.

Just trying to keep my credit score rating in the green so I can take out a loan to open a video game store.
