21/m i'm unemployed since July after my workplace got bankrupt. Actively studying, training and looking for a job that doesn't get in between my classes. My mom thinks i'n some kind of NEET and is constantly trying to make me feel like a alzy piece of shit for not having a job. She's almost 50 and wants to quit her job because she says it really stresses her, so she's waiting for me to get employed to quit so i can pay the rent.
Fuck her, as soon as i get my money i'm moving away. I'm currently using my savings to pay college, food and gym. Haven't even bought clothes in like a year.
I can't rely on my friends to share a rent bacause the ones that have jobs blow their money in drugs and stupid shit, they're too confortable in their current position as to leave their parents houses.
No gf right now either and i wont rush myself into sharing a living with some random slut.
What do, /adv/? Should i put college on hiatus until i get a considerable amount of cash? It's the only solution i can think of.

What's the expected income for your major, and how much would loans cost? Numbers would help.
If you treat it as an investment and just look at expected returns in like a decade, the decision will be easier to make.

Not in the US, college system is different and a lot cheaper. $300 a month (plus an annual 1k fee) and student loans are not a thing.
I was being paid 1,1k a month and still have 5k saved. Average rent is $700 and they ask for 3 months in advance, i could make it for about 4 months without a job.
Still 3 years until i get my degree, btw

How much money are you expected to make after school? Can you still take loans?

I expect to make around 3k
Most loans here are directly proportional to salary, so without a stable job i have small to no chances of one. At most i can hope to get 10k
I get some small jobs designing tattoos ocassionaly but those don't pay more than 80 bucks at a time

How much would you be making if you leave college and work full time?
If it's 2k, I suggest you leave, as you'd make more net money in 5 years (but not in the long run so do go back to college). If it's 1k still, definitely stay in school.
