I'm thinking about dropping out of school. I'm 23 and I've been in school for a long time now. I should be done, but because I failed/dropped a few classes I ended up being very behind.I hate my major. I went from a finance major to an accounting major and now I'm a marketing major and I hate it.

I work at a restaurant and I make ok tips, but its not enough to where I can make a good living. I'm just lost, bros. I don't have many friends, and the people I talk to at my work are pretty much in the same position I'm in.

Have you guys dropped out of school if so, how has your life been since you dropped?

Several times so I want to finish the current study but it is difficult because I've lost all interest in it
I will finish it though with delay. Not sure what to do after I finish since job prospects are bad and I am 24 already

pretty much same story here except i failed one class and just didn't go to college again, the college i was studying at was ok tier and i hated it.

I don't mind teaching itself, I often enjoy it actually.
Everything else about Uni and school makes me sick though. I don't want to sit through any more classes filled with leftist propaganda nonsense, I don't want to write more useless seminar papers.

>these burnouts
I assume it is because the majority of people have never done anything hard or that takes a lot of effort and self motivation.

Up until Uni your hand is held and nearly everything is done for you, then people hit Uni, expect the same, instead of sitting down and getting the work done they fuck around, forget they are actually meant to be working on something, fail the exams, get too far behind, can't catch up and just end up dropping out.

They have no motivation nor sense of responsibility. All their failures are because of external factors. The fault never lies with them and they are never to blame.

Instead of trying to correct their problems and work towards a better life they complain on 4chan.
>>

Uni requires no real effort either, I think most people burnout because it's years of work for a reward you might not ever see

For the past few weeks I've been approached by people who are in a Christian club. They have told me that I look troubled and if I wanted to join them. I got freaked out and I said no and just walked away.

I've been thinking about joining them because they do looka all happy. And I feel like they might be able to help me with my problems. I don;t have a single friend on campus, so it will probably be a good way to make some friends, right?

>Disclaimer: I'm from the EU, so I'm on easymode student loan system
I dropped out like 5 times. Then again, when I started I had literally no clue on what I wanted to do. It's ridiculous to expect an 18 year old to choose a career for the rest of his life, and the loanslave system in place in the US is ridiculous. I don't know what kind of advice to give you. If you think you can find something profitable you'd like to do, do so. If you don't, just try to fine a decent job you can live with. I had the advantage of being interested in all STEM fields, so I could afford to shop around. If you want to go get an arts/language/politics degree it's probably too late, unless you have superb work ethic and motivation.

Do you rely on classes to learn what you need to learn, because your lack of motivation may be your real problem there. If you can't bring yourself to read a book that gives you a basic overview of what your aiming for, then that might explain why your failing. Try changing your approach when your current tactics aren't working for you.

I'm dropping out as well. Working in a restaurant as well, chef though.

I wanna just continue programming stuff/ making games by myself. The place had cool lecturers but I ended up with shit ones which can't understand how someone doesn't want to do things exactly by the book on everything.

It's just not for me. I look at the people who take uni, any course, and they are always these star eyed idiots who can't actually hold a discussion (without turning it into a blame-shifting/ shame war)

No one seems smart enough, no one seems like they're ACTUALLY doing anything. It feels like a huge facade that you just have to grind away in the background to contribute to and continue within.

I honestly think some people just aren't built for uni. It's for the large portion of society that lies to itself and pushes each other and themselves ahead on false assurances.

Well yeah, uni and education in general is a scam.

It's not there to educate the student but to provide employment for school teachers. The vast majority of elementary and high school teachers would be unemployed in the real world. That's why it takes 13 years of public education to teach basic algebra to a kid.

My college dorm mate went into teaching and he was the laziest son of a bitch I'd ever met.

He would spend hours researching which teachers would give the least homework or were more lenient on grading, and the ones who didn't care if someone didn't show up.

He did all this for 5 years (Not showing up most of the time either).

He hasn't gotten a job teaching yet and I hope he never does.

Junior with like 2.5 semesters left.
I fucked up this semester.
Stopped going to class 3 weeks ago, missed god knows what, at least one exam, tons of assignments.
Gonna probably have to withdraw again to save my GPA. I've got so many fucking Ws on my transcript, but whatever, better than Fs.
I'm 26 btw.

Get your shit together. You'll be 30 soon with nothing. Your best years will be dead and gone and you'll be heading into middle agedom with the energy to match and none of the experience.

I haven't dropped out, and I'm graduating this semester with an astrophysics degree. But I'm not happy, and I don't know why. I had planned on going to graduate school but I did awful on the few and physics gre due to a complete lack of motivation to study. I think it's cause the past 2 years I've had to do actual research and lab work and I'm not really a fan of it. But I have absolutely no idea what I want to do because ever since high school this has always been what I thought I wanted to do. I've been thinking of maybe teaching highschool physics or writing sci fi novels.

Sometimes I wonder if I ever wanted to actually do science, or if I just watched too much Star Trek
