this is my first post and ohh yeaah English is not my first language...
I began my college year in 04 until now i took a total of 14 classes. and i failed 3 courses got d's in 2, withdrew from 2 and got okay grades meaning c's and b's and cr in the rest. I'm not getting anywhere in school, I don't have a major and everyone i know has either transferred to a university and are close to getting their degrees. My parents think am doing great in school and they keep asking me when I will be graduating...and take into consideration i am not satisfied with the life that am living. so what am asking is ..Summer classes are beginning any time now,& should I retake the classes that I fail or just give up on school... any advice u have for me is welcomed (link)

Keep in mind that if you are not doing well and you don't see it going anywhere then you are essentially wasting your money. I'd say that 85% of people I know with degrees end up doing something completely unrelated to their degree areas. When it comes to a career, pick what you want and follow the education requirments for that- often you may not need a degree. I personally think that college is important not because of the career oportunities, but the invaluble education you recieve. Nothing is more important then a comprehensive education. If I were you I would continue to take classes on subjects I was interested in (for the education opportunities) while I identify a potential career choice based on what I actually WANT to do for the next 40 years or so. Graduating should not be your goal- learning should be.
