Re: college/no college

If you can do it financially, just stick it out.

Another vote for sticking it out. You will have so many opportunities available to you.



I agree

and just an FYI, the average college student changes their major 3 times!!! I had 5 different majors before I graduated with my BA. You're not alone.

Re: college/no college

Another reason to stick it out is financial. Part of my decision about going back to college was financial. Although it was going to be a strain to come up with another year of tuition, I thought to myself, for example, Would I rather spend $20K and have nothing, or spend $30K and have a degree. In this case, you spend 10K more, but it saves for from having wasted the 20K. Please stick it out. You will be so glad you did.

I also felt going back in my mid-20's was a different experience. I was a lot more focused and I did a lot better. Keep your eyes on graduation and you will do fine!

Stick with it - you've got to be almost there. Why spend all that time in school and then walk away when you're in sight of getting your degree?



ITA! My sister struggled to finish college after 7 long years, but she finally did it. It has made such a difference in the opportunities she has and salary options available to her. It was a lot of hard work and times that she wanted to just drop out (she did once), but in the end, she said finishing was the greatest accomplishment in her life. I'm personally extremely proud of her!

So, again, if you can, stick it out. It's just a little longer to go!Chat Icon
