Hello guys.
I'm making this anonymous because there are people I know who use this and I don't want them to know.
I'm currently studying a very hard University course that takes around 6 years to complete. My whole life I have been unsure if this was the path for me and if I would even be happy with the end result.
I am in my third year. My first 2 years were hard but nothing so challenging, I could get through them without giving myself second thoughts. I am currently sitting on an A-A* overall.
Now in third year, I'm not so sure if this is for me anymore.. I have worked my whole educational life off of this occupation and I did it because I was young and at 15-16 you have no idea REALLY what you want to do, so I just chose something I like and went with it. Now I am starting to realise I don't know if I even want this. Even if I finish this course am I even going to want to apply the for the job I have a degree in??
I want to be free and live my life how I want to, and I feel like even a job at Tesco would provide more freedom than the occupation I am studying for. I love my friends and family and spending time with them is one of my priorities, I'm gonna die one day and to me family is so important (morbid I know but still) and I'm scared this job wont even be able to provide that. Not mentioning that I will be under stress every single day.
I am naturally a lazy person. I am capable, I have the best grades of my year twice in a row, but just because I am capable doesn't mean I want to do it..
I am really considering dropping out. I want to become an entrepreneur, I have made almost 10k already from doing different businesses, I can support myself for around 2 years already if I drop out now, without working, to peruse my dreams, but I don't know if that's a smart move...
I have been offered managerial jobs in my previous occupations and I have a diploma and A levels in this occupation, so I could always do this job in a lower rank if I wanted to. I guess these would be my back ups..
Has anyone on here dropped out of University and what was life like afterwards? Any advice on this? Is it too late for me to drop out? I still have years left.. I am worried I'll complete this course and it will be for nothing because I don't want to do it anyway. Also, I am 22.
Thank you for reading. Even if you don't respond but you feel the same as me I wish you luck.
