Most would say I'm a quitter, but in reality, I was going for school for NDT, and I hated it! So now I'm going to Pusue a career in psychology, perhaps council inch or clinical research.
I just wish people could understand that I hate it!
Oh well, are there any other drop outs that can relate to what I'm saying?
Thanks,

I dropped out of my master's program, and am back. Considering a permanent drop out, but I'm trying to make use of accommodations and be on with it.

You are super young if 97 is your birth year. You have lots of time before people start expecting you to have a definite path.

Luckily we live in an age where youtube can be a better source of education than professors.

How about making a list of all majors/careers you'd like and watching perhaps 2-3 lectures on each subject? See which one catches your eye the most.

Also, make sure to note whether your illness has contributed to this. If so, see a doctor immediately.

In fact, I don't recommend attending ANYTHING unless you are as close to symptom free as possible--from someone who has had problems in ugrad.

Do general educational requirements and don't worry about majors right now.

I dropped out of HS and got my GED. Started community college the month I turned 17. Was probably the best thing for me. It helped me grow up. Also, I hated school before that. The CC was a totally different situation and I thrived in it. Academically thrived, I mean. This was a long time ago. Way before I got the schizoaffective dx. Even with the worsening psych symptoms, I still did well in the community college.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
