During the end of it and after, I tried actually studying subjects I was interested in on my own - bought textbooks, did flashcards. But all that got me was derision of people on the Internet for being a jack of all trades and master of none. But for some reason cramming disparate random subjects in the university was great.
So yeah, I'm stuck in my past and bitter about it, what's new.
Actually, my degree is as a chemistry teacher, and beyond the fact that I can't function in front of a class, chemistry is the subject that I hate now. So I can't really apply as a programmer, because they always want a computer science degree, and it's useless to consider overselling myself.
Sorry, it's not constructive, but kind of therapeutic to offload this.
No need to apologize .. Sometimes it is constructive just in the fact it sets your emotions free (therapeutic as you said) enough to allow you to think freely.

That was why I asked if it was even possible for more education - there are many differing reasons it just sometimes is not possible. I wish that were not the case for you. ❤

Let me ask you this - what is it that DOES make you happy at this moment in life?
Thanks for this!
