University

Hello.I want some advice because i dont know what to do with my life.I joined the police academy almost 2 months ago and i found out that i don't like military after a lot of effort to be accepted here.I want to give up and join another university,but my mom told me that if i gave up she wouldn't let me in the house ever again and basically i will be on the streets.I don't know what to do to be honest,but i know for sure that this job is not for me.Any advice would be great and much appreciated.Thanks a lot!

Are you in the UK? The reason I ask is that I've never heard anyone referring to a police training facility as "the police academy". Nor, I would have thought, would anyone in the UK refer to the police as being part of the military. (It is not.)

You mention wanting to "join another university". Does your use of the word "another" mean that you're referring to the police training facility as being a university? Or that you've already attended an actual university at some point previously? Studying what?

Your mum telling you that "if i gave up she wouldn't let me in the house ever again" is quite dramatic. That suggests like perhaps you have a track record for giving-up and she's grown tired of it. Is that the case? Or is police training the only thing you'll have given-up on?

Hello again! I am in Romania and yeah,the academy is considered an university here.Before joining this i went to a normal college (i studied math), i gave up that too because i didn't like it and now it's the same situation.I don't like military and i never will.I just want to find a way.Any advice?

Well, I'd have thought that the last thing you should do is "join another university". I say this because you say you "dont know what to do with my life".

Given that you have no direction, you've started a Maths course, "didn't like it", and so gave up. Then you tried the police and "found out that i don't like military" so want to give up on that too.

By all means give-up on the police, but until you establish what you do want to do, joining another university doesn't sound very sensible to me. You'll just keep repeating the same cycle.
