2 of the classes I have a D in, because even though I did relatively fine on the exams, the literal mountains of homework are really starting to weigh me down. However, despite missing a chunk of homework my accounting score is pretty high, because I've nearly aced all the tests so far.
I'm starting to get super fucking burned out, to the point where I'll get incredibly frustrated while studying. Doing this while working has me wondering if trade school would be more my thing.
So what do if you're at the breaking point with University, and are just about ready to throw your hands up and walk away from it? I've basically been led to believe, if I don't get a good degree I'm fucked, so I've been torturing myself with this shit while working full time.

Can you take fewer hours at work? Do you NEED to work?

Pretty much, yeah. I can't afford to not work right now. But I also can't afford to fail classes and have to retake them.

Well you can't do both. Personally, I think education is more important, but if you can't not work, then perhaps you can drop one of the classes

A D is essentially an F in the eyes of academia. You should drop your worst class and get some sleep. You'll do better at both work and your other two classes, and the time spent in school will be worth it.
Two D's and a B- aren't worth the money you're slaving away with two hours of sleep for.

College is essentially a waste of time that tries to choke the life out of you. The only good thing that comes from it, is easy access to a bunch of parties.
But if you aren't having an even remotely enjoyable experience, then just fucking stop.
I dropped out right after I got my associates, then created my own business. While it can be infinitely more stressful, I decide when I work, how I work, and how much I work, as long as I'm meeting my goals, it doesn't matter.

Depending on your scores in the classes you have Ds in, you should have time to put yourself comfortably into the C area.
Like last semester, I had a D in 3 of my 5 classes, and I ended up with Bs in them, because I scored really well on the last couple of tests and the final, because even though they were Ds, they were easily in striking distance of a C.
