<p>Sorry for snark, it wasn’t really directed to the OP personally. </p>
<p>I see so many young people going through the motions of getting a degree with no passion, no true direction, no purpose behind it. I’m not a get a degree for the sake of a degree type so seeing kids wasting time and money on a such a pursuit simply because their parents say so, or because everyone else is doing it, or because it’s the only way to make good money, or believing there is no other choice, etc., gets under my skin. </p>
<p>That’s the source of my testiness that may have shone thru in my previous post, not the OP personally. I think, @redbug119 , you will see some of what I’m saying in the OPs comments. Where is the passion behind getting a degree? He sounds reasonably intelligent but absolutely confused and misdirected, like someone desperately trying to figure out how to get the large square peg into the the small round hole. I’m simply saying to stop, reevaluate everything from the beginning whether you should even be in college (stop trying to force the square peg into the round hole in the first place vs asking for advice on how to make it work). And to have as many life experiences as possible before making any commitment to one course or another as a way to speed up maturity and to gain clarity.</p>
<p>Lastly, some kids have very little passion for anything that takes hard work, sacrifice and commitment. This kid needs to test his limits in that regard, to find out who he really is. Some kids are terribly lazy in this regard and looking for a life of luxury without having to earn it-the path of maximum gain and least resistance. I think its good to get out into the real world to disabuse oneself of these notions and to come to grips with life as it is, not as we wish it would it would be or as mommy made it for oneself.</p>
