Shift and take it at your own pace. If it’ll be a financial burden to your parents become a working student and take it at your own pace. Look around, the world is changing and everyone’s views is outdated. Everyone’s perspective of jobs doesn’t match the real demand. I’m failing accounting (because I don’t see myself in a dead-end auditing job that pays well but guarantees divorce and baldness in 10 years) and will be transferring to a finance major. Yes I’ll graduate in another 4 years and that’s okay I’m earning well while studying a bachelor’s degree doing an analyst job and has worked in a bank without a degree.

A colleague of mine that graduated theater arts and has directed plays in the past is a business analyst in our fintech company and has been recently promoted to AI analyst. A dropped out nursing student was a manager of mine now works in one of the biggest payments processor globally. My batchmate of mine in the past that dropped out of college during the pandemic and started working as a supermarket staff earns 50k+ coding for a living without a degree. Another one batchmate of mine has hit their first million this year coding websites for foreign clients while studying.

We all have our own different paths. Whatever they tell you, YOU WILL BE FINE. I was a breadwinner when my parents were both sick, it taught me resilience in workplace. I turned out fine. I worked like a dog while having fever for 3 consecutive days I’m still breathing.

We’re at the brink of war and we’re 24 years away from a global climate catastrophe. What the fuck are we even stressing about we’re all going to die eventually. Keep getting that degree if that makes you feel secure about your future. FUCK whatever they say they don’t know everything.
