I'm just going to add some thoughts...


You shouldn't being doing college because you feel pressured. If you feel you don't want to do it, then you don't have to. Simple.


In fact, depending on the sorts of jobs you are thinking of you might not need a college degree... I know over here there are plenty of jobs that only need high school exams. (not sure if it's similar in US or what but...)


In fact, since the recession there have been much less graduate level jobs around here. It's not uncommon to get huge numbers of people all applying for the same jobs, so it can be hard to get them. I'll be going for an entry level job myself probably, so my degree won't be doing me any massive favours, to begin with at least. (although admittedly that's partyl because I'm not looking in other cities, or applying for graduate schemes that would involve moving)


Certainly, it sounds like you live in a fairly rural area... unless you move to a big town / city... degrees might not really be necessary.


It all depends. I think you have a lot to think about.


Oh, I also think to some extent... a job is a job. If it's independence you want you just got to take what you can. That's the way the world works these days.


PS - I would definitely keep doing college if you were enjoying it... but it seems you aren't. I do wonder if that has more to do with your mood though?
