Should I quit university?

I have just begun a MA in Germany at a top university after having saved for ages to come here. Thing is, i think i hate it. I know i've just started, and i love the city/made friends but after finishing my BA yers ago at a pretty acedemically "bad" university i really dont think im smart enough for this course.
Everyone else gets on fine, but im not sure if ill be able to finish with a good grade. I know its still early etc. But i did this course as i wasnt able to find a profossional job after my BA so decided to do a MA.

Now, i wont just quit with nothing else lined up but should i start applying for jobs and quit/see if i can defer if i manage to get an offer. I understand its unlikely i get an offer but i just dont want to fail my MA and hate my time here becuase im already starting to dread classes!

I do have some professional experience, and most employers ive been interviewed by dont seem to care about my degree. I just messed up a few interviews so didnt get an offer.

Bascially, is it a good idea to start applying now for jobs and if i get an offer, defer/quit my MA? Or just wait until im done and hopefully ill start enjoying my course?

No harm in looking for a job. If you find something you like it might be better than just sticking to something you hate because you messed up a few interviews. And even if you don't find anything, oh can stick with the course, work hard and make some contacts through uni xx

hi

Thanks for the reply. On my cv should i even mention im doing an MA or should i just put volunteer work im doing in germany? Will it look bad that im planning to quit my MA for a job?

Sorry, i just have so many questions and cant ask anyone here!

Yeah maybe not mention the MA... Volunteer work is good

Which course and which jobs?

My immediate response is that you are sufficiently intelligent if you've been accepted onto the course. Double the amount of hours you spend each night and see if your self-evaluation approves. Keep doubling until you're confident. "Intelligence" boils down to how much time you spend doing intellectual things, i.e. developing your brain and absorbing knowledge. Remember you're also experiencing three changes: the jump from BA to MA; the jump from low-ranked to high-ranked institution; and the difference in UK and German academia. Give yourself time to settle in and adapt your work ethic accordingly.

The above is all conditional on the fact that you have a genuine interest in the course and that it's related to your future career.

Don't lie about it on your CV. If you claim to have been doing voluntary work for that length of time, some employers might ask why you don't have a reference as a result. It's OK to make a positive decision that some life paths aren't for you. It shows maturity and decisiveness that you have recognised this and made positive steps to move forward.
