I hear all the time how people say, oh I'll just take a semester off and then
all of a sudden it is 5 years later and no degree.

Finish the degree and then you will have plenty of time to fish after.

Happened to me, but its been 20 years now.

DO NOT waste all that time and money!!!!!!!!

Take 5 classes this time and 5 next fall and be done.

Take the summer to fish.

i wish i could take the extra classes but having to work 40 hours to make ends meet is where i get into a problem. ya'll have good advice and i will try to squeeze another class in this semester to get it up to 4 classes and pick up another one during the summer.

Save your weakest subjects for summer courses, the summer classes are usually a little more relaxed and not as difficult. They are also usually cheaper, at least at Pennsylvania state schools they were. DO NOT TAKE A SEMESTER OFF. I planned to go to law school right after undergrad, needless to say I've been out of college 8 years and I never went back to law school. I don't regret not going to law school, but I often wonder how life would be different if I did.

I agree, more education is better, but if your chasin a degree you really aren't interested in and making D's, might be time to switch majors. If the D's are in your core classes for you degree, they might not count.

I'd don't gradyouat from college me neither. So you'd stay at that scol its beter than not no educate. I'd have find a good job soner if I going to some schole longer. It's a worked out someme later but it take a longest time.

Add me to the list that thought they'd finish later. Notice the trend, everyone who thought they'd go back later didn't, and everyone who didn't go back wishes they did. So if you want to be different and not do what we did, don't quit, finish now. If you take a break, you won't go back.

If you don't like what you're studying, DEFINITELY change your major. I got an MBA from a well known eastern business school, but like working with my hands and ended up as a hands-on building contractor for most of my career. I don't regret the time in college and it's been a big help, but you'll never get yourself out of bed to go to a job you hate.

I remember taking on a large expert witness project, where a builder was getting sued by more than 20 homeowners in one subdivision. Times were hard, and I was getting paid VERY well (I loved hearing the lawyers squawking about my bills), but I hated the picky detail and report writing and I'll never do it again. It was a fun hour, kicking their buts in court, but it was NOT worth it.

Don't kill yourself either - you can only do so much of it along with work and have any of it make sense. Hang in there bro'.
