I deserve everything bad that has happened to me in this life. I'm in my Junior year and I'm thinking about dropping out. This university shit is miserable.

Switch major to something that makes decent money and that you can enjoy doing, get the degree no matter what so you have the piece of paper, and use the excess free time at university to get actually good at as many things that are important to you as possible, whether that's actually mastering your major subject and technical skills related to it or becoming a renaissance man and learning Japanese or some gay shit

That'd be resetting a year of schoolwork if I switch majors now. That's also more money.

Drop out then and work for a few years. No shame in that. You can always go back to school later when you have more money saved up. And are more sure what you want out of it.

What fo you stand to lose if you stuck around an extra year? Are you taking out tens of thousands in debt? Switch to something that pays because McDonald's won't. Are you only only slightly in debt? Then, who cares. Go to school longer.
t. someone who switched majors a couple times because it was necessary and took a long time to graduate.

English is the worst because they can just make up the curriculum with shitty pozzed writers and interpretations. At least with History or Philosophy you're forced to study some hard material to even consider yourself a student of the subject, regardless of interpretation.

The entirety of college is a scam.

Work as a teacher or in education.

They are all the same. The curriculum is worthless across the board. The only value comes in having an in-demand degree or any degree at all. An English degree checks at least one of those boxes.

International Relations undergraduate in my final year.

If you are regretting it now, you will regret it in your final year. Switch NOW before you can't. I wish I had. Would've swapped over to History or if they'd let me, Economics/Soft STEM.

>> No.20273839

I genuinely have no idea why people become English majors. I love History, English, Philosophy, etc. but it seems so fucking stupid to me that people can waste time and money like that.

Dude a year is fucking NOTHING. You're young. It's worth it for more money in your entire lifetime for just 1 more year. I switched into CS junior year and regret nothing. Do some sort of business degree like supply chain or accounting.

Honestly, I think it's because teachers have rammed it down our throats our whole lives
>You must go to college
>College prep

"The Case Against Education" makes a compelling point as to why it's all a big waste of money and time, outside of a few things like engineering which are still debatable

>> No.20275212

>>20275185
It's also because teachers are people who never succeeded in "the real world" so they can't really give any real advice. People like Jeff Bezos would be the ideal teachers, but they never will be.
