Then I go to my classes, and suddenly you're bombarded with all of these assignments and tests, and, you just think, this is bullshit, I could be working, making money, and here I'm just going through the motions to please this teacher. I mean, I'll suck it up, I'll get through it, but after working as much as I did this summer, this just seems like a waste of time. I've been off work for three straight days for school, and its driving me crazy, its like I can't wait to go back to work.

Have you ever felt like this, like, once you really start working, school, not the learning, I do want to learn, but all of the time consuming BS, just seems so pointless?

In today's society show me a job that pays better than someone with a AA or BA that doesn't requite vocational school.

I did. My first year. It was McDonalds, and I worked full time there, making pretty good money (the most money I've ever made at a job in my life). I skipped class ALOT, blew off homework. At the time, I thought exactly like you did -- "I could be working, wtf am I sitting in class?" - But then I thought I didn't want peddly little nothing jobs like McD's, or retail, food service. After I quit that job, I got more into school, finished up, and graduated.

Almost exact same situation for me, except for a small managerial position at a department store instead of McDonald's. I actually grew to despise school; I much preferred work.

Now, however, I don't work fulltime anymore and I absolutely love school. Now that I know what I want to go into - dietetics - I am excited to learn.

Figure out what you want to do and you'll have much more motivation. That's what worked for me, anyway. It's extremely helpful to visit with a college career counselor. They can be a great help!

Good luck and realize that if you want to have a great-paying stable career in the future with awesome benefits, you NEED a college education. It is a very worthy period in your life; college is a very positive thing!
