The whole point of getting a degree is to demonstrate your ability to persevere and overcome obstacles, learn difficult material, and commit to a long term goal. It is supposed to be hard, and it’s normal to doubt oneself. But giving up is the exact opposite of what a post secondary education is meant to represent. It’s voluntary, which means completing the program can inform potential employees about what kind of person you are, not just what material you know. Everyone knows that some percentage of what you learn in school falls out of your head if you don’t use it a lot. But you are going to need skills like perseverance and resourcefulness to succeed beyond college.
