Okay. Ive thought about it. Long story short, my life was fucked for factors out of my control.

Here's my current situation. Have a 2 yr degree in a field I hated. Current job is chill, but not really a money maker. Searching for 20 an hr. Making a little over 14. Here's the thing... I'm 24.5. The only actual job I can imagine doing as a "career" is teaching 4th grade. Problem? I need about 1-1.5yrs for a bachelors then one yr for a teaching credential so I will be 26ish by the time I finish the ba and 27 by the time I finish the teaching credential. Can probably pay off the debt (15k of I continue. Currently 0) in one year after graduating so by age 27, I should have 0 debt and can possibly be a teacher (nothing is guaranteed so who knows). Maybe because of the competitive market, I wont even be able to become a teacher until age 28-29. MAYBE.

So what is the biggest problem I face? Mostly that I loathe the idea of "starting" my life by my 30s. Lets be real. That is 100% suicide material. Secondly, I am 100% sure I will kill myself by age 29 anyways since my life was fucked and I had no youth and as a result, I refuse to become old.

In other words, it does not seem worth it to finish the ba. I just want to accumulate btc and college is getting in the way of that.

So it seems like a no brainer to just cut my losses and not finish. The problem is I am not confident an irrelevant 2 yr degree can net me 20 an hr (southern california). I dont want more. Id be okay with just 20 an hr. I can work with that (I mean rent is overpriced, so I will probably continue living at home to accumulate more btc).
I mean shit.. 20 an hr sounds like a lot, but it is barely a livable wage here. Not moving either since I hate the idea of moving away from my place of birth. Too bad I was born in a shithole..

So.. obviously I shouldnt finish the ba...
Am I fucked no matter what I do? Damn it.. my life is beyond fucked now.

14 dollars an hour with a degree? Get a better job my dude, you will never grow at 14 an hour, you need a 50% raise to be happy, you need to leave. Your worth more than a high school dropout, jesus

Ah yes so simple why didn't I think of that except most companies don't give a shit about your bootcamp anymore

I left the Army at 23 and began my undergrad, dreading graduating at 27. I was a medic so I wanted to be a PA-C, that meant I would probably be finish med school at 29 or 30. I felt the same way, dreading "starting" my career then.

I'm 31 now, make bank and generally enjoy my job. Think about it this way, you're on /biz/ so you obviously know about long term investment (in pajeet ponzi schemes). If you knew that (You)coin was 100% going to moon when you turned 30, would you buy in now or just say fuck it, that's too far way?

My advice to you:
Pull your head out of your ass, stop with all of this 'gonna kill myself' faggotry. Start lifting weights if you haven't already and taking care of yourself.

Then do one of the following:

A) Finish your fucking degree, retard.

or

B) Join the military, have them pay for the remainder of your degree and grad school and hope you don't get sent to Afghanistan and zipped by an 82mm recoilless rifle round which is older than you are and die.

Good luck. (Also buy LINK)

Also this, you can make a lot more than that with just a high school diploma, I promise. Maybe not in California or something, idk, but if that is the case then you gotta move out quick.

Low wage jobs are like some kind of evil self-fulfilling prophecy, you eventually get trapped in them if you stay too long.

Yes, I am glad that I took the longer path to a job I knew that I would enjoy rather than simply giving up because I was behind the curve a little bit.

To elaborate Im saying the bootcamp gives you some guidelines cause some people cant teach themselves at a good pace(something you should learn to do if you ever want to make it at a high level)
