 Toying With Dropping Out of College
I'm in my second semester at Penn State, and I haven't found what I really want to do just yet. Just to be clear, it's all about money. Every time I think about it, it kills me to think that I'm wasting $10,000 a semester just to get an education which I will probably not use. I'm majoring in economics right now, but I don't think that is my life's passion. I like the idea of getting a degree so that I have something to fall back on, but if that degree is going to cost ~$80,000, I need to rethink this whole situation. What I really love doing is learning about the stock market and web systems(like php/mysql kind of stuff). I could be at home giving myself value in these fields, and it wouldn't cost me a dime. So, do I stay in college and get a degree, almost forcing myself into a life I don't want to be in (living the monotonous 9-5) or do I take that chance and rely fully on myself for a chance at a great life?
I know some of you might say to major in Finance, but I couldn't imagine trading stocks for a living.  |
