I'm in college but I'm doing a diploma i have little-no interest in. I want to drop out so I don't have to do another year of this (I did 1 and a half years of college before in this subject but the current level 3 work is more difficult intense & based around career-of which I am not wanting to pursue-I am mainly a writer and have aims to start a home uni course on English Literature/Language when I leave). I am also going/currently am sending my cvs out to everywhere to get a part time job, I will be getting two once I leave this course to makeup for time perhaps but if I'm doing open uni course i may just get one part time job.

my problem is ..... am i making an ok decision because i really don't want to do this anymore but alot of relatives place emphasis on going to college. I am not a college kind of person I wanted to do an apprenticeship but nothing was available that i wanted to do and that fit my career path (writing).

I really want to drop out but its just the fact I am leaving college that gets my parents anxious. I WILL look for jobs like i said i am sending cvs out to and fro and have got replies. I just want to leave this course though and pursue something that is related to my own ambitions in life.

my sister went to college but my father himself didn't and out of my mother and him I am more like my dad in terms of personality so probably that's why i feel the same about college


p.s. i am finding it very hard to keep up with the work; we get a lot of assignments and they're quite detailed & like i say, based around career of it & as i have little interest/it is not my career path, I get a bit-very behind as i don't seem to have enough motivation to keep doing the assigments. if it was english I'd make sure i did my best.
