quit school or just keep at it?
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

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Retake tha classes. please your future depends on it. don't compare yourself to other people go at your own pace. pick something you like as your major. focus on your work. if u are partyin' an stuff stop for a minute and think where it's gotten you. im not sayin don't have fun and don't relax. im sayin' focus more and im sure you'll get youre life back on track.$JAZZIEPINK_09$

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.

Don't give up on school. It's almost impossible to get a job without a degree now. Even working at McDonalds, if your an adult they want to see a degree. You paid a lot of money to go to school, so why quit now?
I think you should retake the classes you failed, study a lot more and do MORE than what's required for projects and reports. You might want to get a tutor too, or if you think the class is to hard for you try to get a easier class. I would hate for you to get screwed over completely by a few failing grades.
And for the major, you dont NEED a major yet. But come up with stuff you love to do and take it from there. I love music, so when I go to college I'm going to be a music major. Your major doesn't mean you have to get a job in that field
Good Luck <33

My advice is don't go through anything as important as school just because someone else wants you to. Do what YOU want to do. Regardless of the grades you've gotten in college, you've gained experience, and in some ways it just as valuable, so what you've been doing isn't worthless.
Some people can work in a classroom situation, with multiple classes, many homework assignments, and so forth. There are also people that can't do that as well and need to focus on something specific. Have you ever thought of a tech school? Or a school where you could focus on the career you want without having to worry about a million other subjects? You might find that you do better in that kind of situation.
I can't tell you whether to quit school or not. But whatever you choose, do it for yourself, for what YOU want. Maybe the classes will be much easier the second time, maybe they won't. If you think that staying and finishing this would be best, then go for it. ^_^
Hope that helped...
