<p>Unless you can get a refund on your tuition and fees for the rest of this semester, do not drop out. Finish this semester. Keep your grades up. That way you will have a nice, clean transcript if you ever do want to finish a college degree.</p>
<p>While you are finishing this semester, do your research on where to live and how to pay for the program you want. Also, think long and hard about whether you want a short program in makeup, or whether your goals are better served by a degree in theater tech/design, with a concentration in makeup. If you have a better plan, and another semester of good grades under your belt, your parents may have a more positive attitude about this career change.</p>
