How long does the impostor syndrome usually last? I mean, I still don't feel qualified and I debate dropping out all the time. My main issue is that I don't have the personality/people skills etc. to ever actually get a job so it doesn't matter how high my grades are or how many times off campus I'm recognized for my work. Even if I was at the very top of my field, I still wouldn't find work. So I guess I'm good enough to be getting the degree in and of itself, but if I'm fundamentally unable to get a job, then should I really be in school? I mean, based on my education, I'd be considered over-qualified for minimum wage jobs, but I'm not qualified for anything else. So what do I do? Drop out, lie about my education, and get a minimum wage job?
