If Im not getting anything out of college...should I stay in it just to say that I have a degree?
Question:
Answer:
Follow your heart. Don't make yourself unhappy to please others. If anything, see if you can compromise. Change your major to something that may help you in real estate, like economics, business, management, or even communications (like public relations). Overall, I think you should follow your heart and do what will benefit you.
Finish your degree. You are getting something out of school. You just don't see it today. The real estate profession is a hard one. There is so much to learn. You will be taking classes all of your life just to keep on top of the game. The more you know, the more money you will make.
Definitely stay. You'll always regret it if you leave, you'll never regret having a degree to fall back on.
you payed all that money and did all that work, just get the degree.
At this point, you have gotten so far, you might as well finish it. It has been my experience that the value employers place on a bachelor's degree is primarily that you had the wherewithal to stick something out and complete a task. So even if your career path is set with real estate, I say get the degree since you're 99% of the way there already.
Stay in college!
Yes, just for the paper and just for the degree. You will make a lot more money in your lifetime if you have a college degree than if you don't.
You should finish what you start.
well since you have your reality estate license then i do not see y you can not quite i mean its not like you do not have anything to fall back on and then later on if you descide you want to go back then go back it is ok to take a break from college. Just do finish out this semseter. or why dont you take a break and then go for your associate degree at least then you do have a degree then if you want to return you can go for something that really interest you and get a better degree and skip all the other nonsense that you had to go through.
good luck.
Thats a big ouch for your paretns, I hope they don't take it hard.
Students are doomed to do well in school when they are there because they want to be there and not because their parents want them to.
So maybe you should think about this, if its your fourth year you are not far from finishing. Can you drop to half time or less time and do both things at the same time?
Are you sure that this is what you want, and that your parents will pay for you the next time you enroll if you decide to go in?
What about changing your major and doing something that captures your attention some more?
Is it that you are depressed?
I would suggest that before you do anything so big and impacting, you speak with a school counselor so that they can help you determine what is best. Your parents should also be aware of all this because they are the one sacrificing their money for you to get an education that most people only dream about.
I pay for my own education, loans, grants you name it, I struggle and stress, cry and sometimes feel like this is it, but I don't give up, perhaps by knowing this, you too can continue making the effort to take one more step, graduate and just get out.
Best wishes to you!
this might seem weird
but i think you just answered your own question
if your not into something, then get out of it
if you pay 7 bucks to go see a movie in the movie theater, and 30 minutes into the movie, the movie is a pure dog, boring, horrible acting, etc. You know that the movie is 2.5 hours, would you waste 2 hours of your day watching something that is just garbage, that you dont even like. The answer should be no. The 7 bucks is sunk, done with it, no matter what you do its gone
you made a semi-informed decision to go to the movie, but it turns out you made a bad decision. Dont make another bad decision and waste 2 hours of your day watching something you cant stand.
Now, although that is straight forward, college is a tad different. The degree is definatley a symbol of status in todays world, and even though u think ur getting nothing out of it, i think you should stick with it, ESPPPPP if you are 4 yeas into it. Also someone else is paying for it.
MARK MY WORDS, somewhere at sometime u will wish u had that degree. That, i guarantee. Stick with it
What are you alternatives?
anywho
if i get it, ur heart is in real estate, but u r in school, right?
anyway u r almost done... so finish it up.. just 1yr more at d worst. u got nothing to lose, but a lot to gain.. imagine $25/hr
Here is some food for thought: If you drop out of college now, it is so much harder to come back if you decide to do so later in life. I say take advantage of what you have now, ESPECIALLY because your parents are paying for your college education. Lets say you stop going to school now, and then 10 years from now (or earlier) you want to finish up what you started... more than likely your parents won't pay for your schooling. You might want to take that into consideration. Other than that, suck it up for a little longer! It will be very beneficial throughout your life.
I'm sad for you that you aren't getting anything out of college, but how much you get usually depends mostly on how much you put into it. If you were a freshman or sophomore, I'd suggest you do something else for a while until you mature enough to appreciate the opportunity. Since you are in your fourth year, though, you might as well stay for the degree; at least your parents would be getting something out of it!
Sadly, the world is built in such a way, that a piece of paper is very important. AND IT IS! As a person that never got her "piece of paper"(diploma), I'm here to tell you that it does make all the difference in the world. YOU are so close, just get it over with, you'll live to regret it if you don't. People come into my workplace, where I train them, and then they get promoted over me, because of the "piece of paper"-------life is long, the real estate thing might change, and you might want another type of job later on that does regard the diploma as essential. DO IT,,,finish it..it's worth it...
everyone is trying to talk me out of it - they r telling U some thing
It's your life & people do quit right b4 they finish. It's up 2 U. Will look like a quitter, if that is what U want then quit. What will life b like if U quit? No degree, or job U studied 4 yrs 2 get. Throwing money away - Can U live w/ urself ( or ur 'rents?) What is Ur plan 4 work & income? Will life get better ? Will school work b easy 2 pick up & finish later? Not likely! Quitting loses momentum. What harm is in continuing? U can get some thing out of this.
You the only one who knows whats best for you, i know sometimes it is really hard to disappoint our parents but whats the point of doing something for nothing, if it's not going to help you in the future why waist your time?. why not change the course you doing and do something that will help you in future and earn a degree for something you want to do. Think about this carefully and think of you coz this is your future. Good Luck!
You are sooooo close. Are you actually a senior? What would you tell someone if they said "I'm 85% of the way finished with this project. I'm a little bored with it but if I complete, I will have an easier time finding jobs, I won't feel inferior to others who had the guts to stay, and I will please my family who love me. Should I finish?"
Of course your answer would be yes.
Your friends know what is best. Stay the course. You are getting more out of it than you think. Gut it up and finish and work your real estate part time. It's mostly weekend work anyway . . .
