I agree with what people on here have been saying; if you're not enjoying college that can be normal and that's okay. College isn't for everyone. There are plenty of jobs you can get that don't require degrees or even certificates (my job required neither and I make $17 an hour). If you decide to get a certificate they're very short term and are often more focused on skills rather than school work such as English exams. Trade school also isn't a bad idea and workers get paid pretty well too depending on the occupation.

I have my associate's in biology and I work part time in hematology (the branch of pathology involving blood). I'm getting my bachelor's, but I have periods when I struggle with my illness which make classes seem impossible. Right now I'm struggling with my eating disorder (it's always something) so I'm not fairing too well, but I'm hoping to bounce back.
