guys, i hate to sound emo and shit, but I'm basically at a loss for what to do.

Situation: since i graduated HS in '04, I've been at MDC on/off. I was on academic suspension for dropping too many classes, so i left, was working 40 hrs a week, then went back this summer. but it seems the whole college thing just aint for me, no matter how hard i try, and want it to work. I can't seem to focus on the classes, and just loose interest within about a month. It's apparently happened again, as i'm on suspension yet again for failing two of my three classes. Don't get the wrong idea. anyone who knows me will tell you I'm bright, smart, etc. The other class i took I actually got an A in, mainly because there was no effort involved other then showing up for the two exams, and answering ridiculously easy questions.

Point is, I've just about givin up on school, despite how hard it is for me to give up wanting to be an engineer. But I know for a fact, that i DON'T want to be working some crap retail job 40 hrs a week for the rest of my life.

The thought of the military comes to mind. I kn ow it's probably my best option. My best friend just shipped out to korea today w/ the army, and he's living the dream; fixing avionics on apaches and blackhawks. They got him a job, school, housing, benefits, everything. but yet again, problem. With my personal beliefs about everything going on in the world, I can't morally accept taking part in anything that I don't agree with.

Bottom line, i need to do something with my life and GTFO of Miami. As much as i <3 it, I need to go experience new things, places, people...have a fucking adventure.

I'm sorry to vent guys, I'm just extremely frustrated, as well as disappointed in myself, and need to kind of let it out and get advice.

thnxs for hearing me out :eek:
 
Been there done that. Go Air force! They have a program where you enter and are automatically enrolled into the AF community college. From what I understand your work related field and academics coincide together and after 4 years you have an Associates and after 6 you have your Bachelors. on the plus side they will give you an allotted amount of money to pay off previous school loans. Just because the world sucks doesnt mean you cant work or serve for a great cause, plus the AF treats there people better than any other military branch. My Dad served Navy 22 yrs and still says that the AF has got the best program.
 
Dude i feel the same way. I cant imagine myself doing something for the rest of my life that consist of me waking u every morning doing the same thing. Im currently starting my bachelors in video game design cuz i love to create but im also gonna drift as a backup (yea i know it sounds very imaginative but) cuz who knows if one day i do good and shit ignites. What i advise you to do is find what you have interest in. Find something you love. Doesnt have to be just one thing. But excel in what you love. So i ask you what do you love?
 
as a matter of fact am going thru alot right know as well.. am working part time on a freaking brick company that i have busted my back and hands so much to earn 7.50 an hour!.. and they dont pay me like a part time .. i get paid full so i never get passed 40 hours to get paid extra.. and since my dad works there.. he pressured me to keep on and w.e but am just mentally and physically exhausted! like i prey every day to get hit by a car or something so i dont go there... so they they tell me that their gonna take my 240sx away if i dont go to work( since its under their name) and i frankly dont give a crap any more. so just remember am not saying my situation is worst that yours.. but theirs always someone out there thats worst than you...keep your chin up kid .. it all happens for a reason.
 
bro i feel ya i wanted to drop out of school so many times i knew more then all of my teachers which is really fucked up. I paid $100,000+ for a piece of paper and learned nothing. It was hard at times my friends took me to school and droped me off and picked me up just so id go to class to finish. I finally graduated in septempber and now im happy. i got through the bullshit and finished. I even had a teacher try to fail my portfolio because he didn't like me. I should have won best portfolio but i didn't because of him. School can be frustrating but remember life gets better after graduation. i know mine did.
 
thanx guys. i've been thinking long and hard about the military, i really have, especially after seeing my best friend come out of it a changed man. but i still don't feel comfortable supporting the war in any way...just my beliefs.

and wat i love doing. cars and computers. auto mechanic...ehh. cars are more of a hobby i guess, although if i one day turn pro, i wouldnt turn that down, lol. i was also thinking about A+ certification, but i've heard its not worth the time. and in my experience, all the guys i've met that are "a+" certified are morons, but i could be wrong of course
 
then heres where u gatta make a decision.. keep on working at mcd's or w.e and start again at engineering give it another try.. or apply to the Forces.. and go against something u dont want. or go somewhere else outside of fl and c wats out there.
 
i got my A+ certification its a joke. i did make $18 an hour at bestbuy as a geek squad tech but the job is boring. you can make more money as a certified welder. I was pulling in $23 a hour doing that. but its up to you. No matter what anyone says the desision is still yours and yours alone. Just do what feels right theres no point in going to a job you hate everyday for the rest of your life you will just hate life and thats not how it should be.
 
F*&@#$ this who wants to chip in and buy a place in Japan?! We can runaway and be pro drifters!!!

i know wat you mean. I'm doing EasyTech at Staples right now, and it sux.

and wat you said about hating a job = hating life is spot on.

i think i'm going to stick w/ the current job for now, work 40 a week, save up $, then when summer comes and i can apply for school again, see where I stand.

i just feel like i need to GTFO on my own for a while, but dont got the means :(
 
i fell ya i have a bacholer degree and live with my parents. lol (due to health reasons) but now that im starting to get healthy again im gonna get the hell out asap. lol
 
i in the same boat as u, i was going to school for bussiness 2 years ago and just kept fucking up ( manny knows about that), i would try n try but i would just lose focus, so i dropped out,

i just started going back to school for automotive and after the first semester going back ive gotten all A 's n B 's,
its all about finding something that you like to do
 
You can always go to a tech school. Its short and hands on(from what i've heard) so that kinda makes it less boring.
 
I worked at a great company for 6 years, they moved to Dallas, Texas I went with them, after 6 months I couldn't take it, just too different. For 2 years now i have been in search of a decent job and have had no luck, I have just decided recently to go to Sheridan tech. for there automotive program. I hope to finish the class and go on to work for a dealership. 2 years with barely enough money to get by, but eventually you get by all that and life moves on to better things, just hang in there man.
