To postpone the inevitable arranged marriage of course.
Like I want to become a bloody lawyer.

You really have to have an arranged marriage?
Have you talked to your parents about it?
Any possibility that you can change their minds?
Or are you alright with it?
Why didn't you make a thread on this?!!

I really want to go, as i want to be a primary school teacher. Im studying level 3 childcare atm.
But i just dont feel im good enough or motivated.
What made you know 100% their was nothing else for you and thats what you wanted to do?
I dont exactly have the encouragement off family or the money but i guess you never know until you try it out, thats another thing, scared i wont actually enjoy the course after going through everything :/ but i guess that happens to loads of people?

To be honest, I always knew I wanted to go to university - I just didn't know what I wanted to study as I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I pretty much knew from about GCSE time that as long as I did a degree, I would probably be able to do whatever I wanted with my career. I enjoyed studying science more than anything else, and found plants boring, so human sciences was the prefect choice for me, and since starting uni, I have come to the conclusion that I want to become a research scientist. I guess things worked out pretty well in the end. I was considering dropping out at the beginning of the year as I just felt like evryone else was cleverer than me and it was too hard, but then I realised I was just having a confidence crisis, and that there was no reason I couldn't do just as well, if not better, than anyone else. Now, towards the end of the year, I'm confident I'll pass my first year with at least a 2:1, and I'm looking forward to the next two years
If money is a really big concern for you, you could always live at home whilst going to uni. That's what I do. It means that I don't have to worry about paying for the rent/eating/going out, because I save so much of my student loan. Also, university is pretty much about learning more about a subject you love, or for some, it is a way of getting to the career they want to have. There will be times where you might hate your course (ie. coursework deadlines, exam times etc.), but as long as you are interested in your subject, work at it, and you can actually see where you're going in doing it (in your case, it will help you along your way to becoming a primary school teacher), then chances are you won't want to drop out, and you'll finish your degree with a good grade
Good luck!

Although I wasn't 100% sure which career I wanted to pursue, most of the careers I did fancy required a degree. So to begin with, it was just the first steps towards a career of choice. After that it was because I developed a passion for the subject and knew that I wanted to study the subject more than I wanted to get closer to my 'dream career'.
What makes you feel that you're not good/ motivated enough?

Because I was born into this fate. Making a thread on TSR won't change it.
I don't ever want to get married, and I don't even think I believe in love, yet here I am 17 and knowing that theres some bloke who I will have to marry. Someone who won't believe or understand my political and social views, who will expect me to be his wife, to open my legs or risk being raped, or worse - divorced. I thought a degree might help postpone it, but I can't pretend like I'm not seeing the signs.
Its life. I can't go against my mother. She is divorced and her own community - the culture she looked up to - ostracised her and her divorce somehow changed the social dynamics of her existence. She is a lesser person because of it. And now she will throw me in the same marriage system that failed her and then proceeded to **** on her face.
C'est la vie.

.
Because I wanted to be a teacher. I'm not convinced now, having had some experience, that I still want to go into school teaching, but I'm certainly looking into something academic. I like learning stuff that I didn't know before, and putting parts of a puzzle together until I can guess at the picture. So it didn't really occur to me not to go.
Also a close friend of mine passed when I was fifteen and I think that has kind of made me take the chance to follow what I want to do and see where it takes me - life's too short for what-if's.

I didn't want to go to uni at all. I was nervous as anything, and didn't know what on Earth I wanted to do, but now that I'm there, I don't regret the decision in the slightest.
At the end of the day, my degree is transferrable to practically any profession, so I know that I have better job prospects with this degree than without.. I was thinking about the long term, and the stability I could achieve for me and my family
