>realize that having more degrees will not help in anything
Well, that's it. My true vocation is arts. But due to reasons I didn't pursue that. I started to learn jewelry and metal work, as well as clock stuff and regularly draw for hobby.
I feek like I'm not achieving shit by studying things that are secondary to me (again, not my vocation) and won't help me to move abroad.
Should I focus more in my art, eveb if kinda late (in my late 20s) and developing a self mantained business that I can run and move with me anywhere?
This would be my last semester, or maybe have another one, but I feel like completing my second degree is of no use. I feel a bit mad about falling for le degree meme and kinda feel like I'm forcing it out of rage (like, I studied a lot, it MUST get me a job), so I feel like going full fuck it and abandoning it (currently missing 4 courses). University is free here, but lifetime seems more worth than money

I feel that yea a second degree was probably a poor choice for you but I say if you are this close to finishing just do it.
Keep in mind that you don't have to end up working in your degrees scope. Yea it may suck but you know what sucks more than that? Being poor. Doll up your resume and find a job elsewhere. Two degrees will at the minimum show that you follow things to completion which is more than a lot of people can say.

Also consider teaching English abroad. I have lots of friends who do it and while it isn't the best paying job in the world they make a comfortable living and basically have their travel subsidized.

That's the problem, my country's job situation and economy is very fucked up atm. I've only worked as a personal language teacher and other stational stuff but nothing stable
English is not my main language though, but I'll check it if I can apply to it.
Thanks for replying
