As far as a degree, you’ll be far more employable and earn a lot more when you have a degree….the jobs for people who don’t have degrees just aren’t as desireable as the ones for people who have degrees.

You may think about where you are planning on living after college. Cities (California, Seattle, most of the east coast) are very expensive and living there often requires two good incomes. The central part of the country and most of the rural parts don’t necessarily require two good incomes.

But ~ you’ll probably never have a chance to get this degree again in your life and you may regret it later on. I once heard a 55 year old person complaining that she couldn’t get a good job because she didn’t have a degree. This was after 30 years of time in the workforce! It will make a difference.

Maybe you need a year or two off (or whatever time you need to find your passion). Can you withdraw in time to get most of your tuition money back and pay back your loans? You could also consider part time studies while working – less of a course load until you figure out what you want.

On the other hand, sometimes you have to do a certain amount of grunt work before you learn enough about an area of study to really get into it. That happened to me in my freshman year – I had to slug it out until my interest in the subject I chose as my major suddenly grew on me. My grades were less than great during that time – much better afterwards.

So, which of these scenarios applies to you?

As for me I think I want to be a stay at home mom with an option to work. I finally found something I like where before college was boring and i was thinking just like you.

what would happen if your boyfriend had the job and was working but something happened to him? you should have a backup plan. thats what convinced me to continue. i still have 2 more years.

But before you quit, maybe you should think about what you will do, what job you would like to have. Even interview for some jobs like that. It might effect your view on college.

It certainly can’t hurt to apply for some jobs.
