Who'* taken a year off from college? I'm seriously considering it... I have no clue what I want to do with my life. Computer Science people are so boring, and even though I love programming, I don't know if I could do it for a living. I just don't know. I really need some advice right now. Thanks

i took a year off... four years ago. college just wasn't my thing. i feel that i have a great job, i'm definitely not living paycheck to paycheck (living with parents has its perks)

I wouldn't. Get it done and over with. Then take a year off to look at your options.

Keep going. Don't like programming all of the time? Want more pay? Switch to a computer engineering degree.

It may be harder to go back to college if you take a year off...if you want a degree that'* a tough decision. But you don't need one to be successful. It sure doesn't hurt though, especially in your field.

I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do either. I went to college for something other than my job now. While it'* not that far off (illustration vs. graphic design), it could open me up to something new and lead me to what I possibly will do until I retire.

Once you start working you'll learn much quicker what it is you want to do. It'* hard to know when you're in school what it is you want to do...don't worry, everyone goes through that at one time or another.

Get to work, don't make us come and slap you silly.

I am a manager/supervisor/coordinator, No schooling beyond HS. and life experience .
I make ******* peanuts for money for what I do.

Dont Be Me you will regret it.


This is not a Joke.

yeah, tonight was a bad night, and last night was a real low point in terms of morality . I just want to make some money, I mean, I'm sick of learning all this stuff and not put any of it to use, you know? I just feel like I'm ready for a new world, and that world isn't college.

(just to let you know, got the paper done, no serious marks on the paper. Thanks a bunch, you guys! I'll tell you the grade when I get it back )

Petey, some classes will be useless but some will be useful. It'* only how you use your learnings.

Pete, I would never judge anyone for what they do for work.

A Man that has a Job is a Man.

So true, I mean, some of the greatest people I've met worked as fast food workers.
There'* always the option of transferring. I might just go down the road to U of C, a great engineering school. Maybe it'* just the fact that I'm used to having things to do, friends to do stuff with, etc, etc. I definetly need a semester or two to churn this over before I raise the white flag. Thanks Gumby and everyone else for helping me out with this. Sometimes I just completely lose it...
