So I suck at school. Because of this, I dropped out last year to "take a break." I reenrolled this year to try again... and here I am. sucking at school.

What do? College degrees are like high school diplomas nowadays and I don't want be a bitter wageslave during my early 20s. I don't think I even have the social skills to "work my way up" to a decent position from minimum wage.

Important to note, my parents pay for school and provide housing, so finances aren't an issue yet but probably will be by the time I'm 25.

Options as I see them:

>Suck it up and do what I need to do to get my university degree in some STEM major
>Get a degree in an easier (for me at least, I'm good at liberal arts stuff) non-STEM major
>Bail on school and scrape my way up from minimum wage

Open to other suggestions of course.

OP here, pretty sure we're in the same boat as most modern students nowadays.

Suck it up and get an engineering degree.

Which means you will need months of prepartion work getting your calculus, chemistry and physics up to snuff.

Go to tutorials, review the notes from every class and make sure you pre research everything you need to know about labs.

You are going to do this even if it kills you because the end result is stability and respectability.

Yeah, I suspected as much.

I'm going to toil no matter what I do, might as well finish what I started.

Need help. I'm in a position similar too but a little worse than op and I need help figuring it out.

I'm just about to go to college and I want to study and succeed in college. I really do. I absolutely have NO trouble studying for 5 hours a day, everyday.

So what's the problem? I absolutely and totally suck at studying! In about an hours time of studying I have barely made any progress in memorizing and understanding what i'm supposed to be studying. It's absurd.

The problem is I think i'm learning at such a slow pace that if I go to college, I am guaranteed to eventually fall behind and fail the course by the end of the year. I feel like no matter what major I choose this is going to happen to me. College feels impossible because of this.

What in the world should I do?
