dropping out of college is probably a bad idea.

lately i've just been thinking about moving away from my home state.
i'm at uni now, i have about a year and a half left.
i have a really good job that pays well and doing both is killing me.

i need my job to pay bills, college, and rent.
also the health benefits are great.

i found an apartment elsewhere that i could afford with less than two weeks of work's pay.
and it's walking distance so i don't need a car.
i could probably even get a bike.

what should i do?

What are you majoring in?

I ask the same that Lady K asks.. What is your profession? And what are you going to uni for? Do you know that you will be keeping the job that you have now for a very long time? Or, is it something that you would grow tired of?

i work at apple as a technician, but i can go farther in the company.

originally i wanted to finish school, work at apple pay off my debt
then go back for grad school.

i just feel right now i am not ready for school.
i hate being surrounded by students who party all the time.

i feel like i could come back and do it better too.

also i'm majoring in psychology but i want to come back for public health.
i fell in love with public health half way through my college career and switching majors now would be stupid.
not much transfers between the majors, it'd be a loss of credits.
i would like to do a double major but that would mean i'd be working and going to school for even longer.

also i am my own support system.
my parents do not help me out at all.
next year i'll be independent on taxes.

Do you still have quite a bit to pay off? If so, it may be worth sticking out, if you cannot get that money back.

I do understand about being on your own. I have been for a long time now. sweatdrop I do understand how hard it is, but at least you have a great job. biggrin That is better than what most get. >.<;;

I would stick it out, to be honest. It could be a big loss in the pocket book if you leave, and you still have to pay off for something that you never got to finish.

i personally recommend staying in school -- many people who take time off don't go back .. and i have a degree i don't use myself but i know i always have it to fall back on
