I dropped out. I sucked at real life, and went back. Then I used my degree in the real world, realized it STILL sucked, and went into a trade.

Long story short? I have tons of student loans I'm still paying off, I have a degree I will NEVER use (willingly mind you) and a fantastically incredible career where the work changes every day and I'm never bored. Oh, and I make as much as I would have with my degree.

I'm going to go out on a limb here. Make sure your bases are covered, and if they are, make a jump. Try something new in life. You only live once, you only get one chance, so make the most of it. Don't force yourself into apathy for the sake of a piece of paper or to please others.

I went from economic modelling to electrician. I don't regret it, although it scared the shit outta me at the time. But it was worth it and I thank my lucky stars every day I'm not still stuck in an office with the fake manniquens and posers.
