I actually got my AAS, but then I got buttfucked when I transferred out of community college to a university and they dropped half my classes I took, now I'm rated half of what I was in credits and I have loans out the ass just to be here retaking the same damn bullshit, and I haven't even gotten to the core classes yet.

So you like it! Thats wonderful! Yeah, you did get shafted on the whole credits thing. You have the dedication and talent to be able to do this kind of work, if you didnt you wouldve dropped out. And if you didnt like it, you would have dropped out just the same.

It seems you have a more brighter picture than you've painted.

I had a similar thing I was going to do, but with electronics engineering technician. I decided that instead of completing a 4 years at university for a zillion more dollars, it was best to enroll into an aviation trade school and be trained for avionics electronics technician work. My dad works as a mechanic and gets to travel all over the world to repair shit, and his inbox is filled with joboffers too, so he told me to take it.
My hope is that when I finish, I can go on a trip with my dad and hang out I rarely if ever talk to him. Maybe once every few months. That would be really nice.

I never said I liked it, I'm just better at it than at least most other people. Now I'm stuck in a dorm with kids almost a whole generation younger than me because I wasted the only money that I did have on a worthless piece of paper so that I can get into wage bondage for another piece of paper that I hope is not equally as worthless before I even am able to get said paper. The only reason that I haven't dropped out is because I have so much loaned money that if I stopped going to school all that is waiting for me is a a list of debt that I have no way to pay for. I'm a dead man walking, and some days I wish I could just get run over by a truck since it seems to be the only way out.

If you want to change your major, you will lose any psychology courses that you have taken, but your core classes will carry over. You don't have to do everything again. Also you don't have to drop out -- you can just change your degree at your current college. You will just end up with some time and money wasted.

I haven't been attending two of my courses because having a significant oral assessment component and social anxiety don't mix.

It's okay as the rest of my grades are pretty good...and I can live without those two courses. It wouldn't normally be a problem as I can just have them withdrawn.

However, I need a signature from my instructors in order for them to be withdrawn (and my nonexistent grades to be excluded from my GPA)...and I just can't manage to go over and talk to them to have them sign it.

Not entirely related to college/university, but I've been having trouble getting a job because my status in America only permits me to stay and go to school (A2 Visa, still dependent on my parents.)

I can't always leech off my parents for spending money and the only ones who'd accept people like me are international organizations and embassies which require a bachelor's degree at minimum. Frustrating.

I'm on my way to finishing my degree, finally, and I'm not even on drugs anymore, although I haven't improved very much in most (social) aspects (I'm doing it so I can land it a job, don't get nippy at me. I'm getting my goddamn dollfie somehow). However during that time I was drugged up I was able to develop a work ethic by simply doing course related work instead of playing games or doing nothing all day.

If it interests you that much then pull yourself together and start raising your GPA until you at least have a chance. I'm being honest, there's no other way around it, since it's your fault for choosing whatever coursework was disinteresting for you and then preceding to flunk at it. A good student still gets decent grades even if they hate some of their coursework.

At least some of you guys went to school studying stuff that actually had job potential. I'm going to school for graphic design, simply because it was the only thing that interested me. I'm almost done (a year left), but I'm really not that good at it when compared to others in my class, but sadly it's the only thing I know how to do.

My goal is to shoot for mediocrity. If I can get by designing shitty designs for soup cans or medicine labels, I might stand a chance. Otherwise I'm fucked and wasted my life going to school for nothing.

I guess the best thing to do is to shoot for the bottom of the barrel. If you try to aim too high, you'll just crash and burn.

Obviously the odds of winning the big one are infintesimal. . something like 1 in 146 million.

Actually, I know how you feel. I dropped out of school when I was 16 and had extreme social anxiety (which I'm not completely over). However, after a year of not going to school, my dad took me in and threw me kicking and screaming back into school.

It was terrifying. Being surrounded by people who lead normal lives and weren't scared of normal interactions is extremely daunting. I kept extremely quiet for 2 years, sheltering myself whenever possible, not making friends. Honestly the only thing that kept me going was my hobbies of video games and anime. But gradually you start to open up and learn to get by on a very basic level.

Basically what I'm trying to say is it's possible to reintegrate yourself, it's just an extremely terrible experience to go through. I was lucky to have my dad as a support, even though I hated him in the early stages. If you can just get a little bit of support and have just enough energy to get through the day until you can retreat to the safety of home, you can make it.

I developed a social anxiety after working my last job for two years. I have a hard time setting foot in a classroom now. I've been applying for some jobs around town for a while now, trying to get a night shift. I'm not enrolled at the moment, and I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to comfortably go in a classroom again.

Therapy and meds help but I still can't imagine myself being around a bunch of people and not freaking out.

Yep, life is complete shit.

We might as well enjoy it as best we can, in the only ways we know how to enjoy it, eh?

It's like the entire world expects you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt what career you'd like to take up at 18, on pain of death or a failed life.

Did you get bullied?

>>8761889
Oh yeah, when I think back I sometimes wonder how I went from college student to NEET with no hope for proper employment (no degree, social anxiety, huge gap in CV).

Unlike many people here, I functioned for the longest time. I was always awkward and unsocial, but not to this degree, not by far and I at least managed to do what was necessary.

Exactly that. I don't really get how everyone else knew exactly what they wanted to do. I never had any motivation and I just went with what all of my relatives said was smart, even though I hated the hell out of it. Lacking motivation really fucks us all over. At least I've learned how to take it easy a bit.

Where'd that crippling social anxiety come from then? Just from feelings of inferiority?

I know what I want. I want a nice, small house or apartment outside of a city, some way to make enough money to live off preferably from home or even just something I don't despise and just ignore the rest of the world while pursuing the things I care about. Maybe even with someone sympathetic.

I suppose I'm lucky, I don't like to say it but my parents own 2, 3-bedroom houses so when they die I guess I'll have somewhere to live. And maybe a couple of /jp/sies will too.

We have a big theater here, had a food court. I worked in that. I was fine with cooking, prepping, cleaning, and closing. I even liked taking orders at first.

I was assigned to the register a lot. Eventually it wore me down, and we were always busy. I needed the money, so I sucked it up for as long as I could. Eventually the thought of going to work stressed me out and I'd get panic attacks. After that I turned in my two week notice.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 27 04:03:34 2012 No.8762038 >>8762033 So you basically had a mild form of social anxiety before working, and the register just exacerbated it? That sucks. Too bad they didn't let you do anything besides register, even when busy.

Honestly so do I. It is one of the only things I want to do and if I don't fuck up my savings this year (this means no more figs after June) I'll be going to Japan for a month in November. 1 week or so in 3-4 different places. But anyway, a fried of mine on Thursday is going through Cambodia, Laos and Thailand for a month and it is only costing him 2-3k. If you have an OK income, even autism bucks here, that is doable every year or two.

If I had money I would probably travel a LOT.

Wow, I was going through the same thing not too long ago, but with Biology.

The important thing is to take it easy and go at your own pace. There's no need to rush. One day at a time; one step at a time. Realize that there are always options in life.

Not him, but... Seek help? This concept is, and I'm being perfectly honest here, foreign to me. No matter what I'm going through, the last thing I'd think to do is ask for help, unless there was just no other way out.

It's not as though they could help me anyway. If I ever feel suicidal, it's because I've got too much annoying shit to deal with, and I don't see any adequate means of escaping it other than death.

>LOST INTEREST IN SCHOOL PROGRAM
I never had any interest in my college degree. I'm just taking it because I'm garanteed a job, given the course I'm taking.

>DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL
This I can't do. Not if I want a peaceful life of doing nothing while still earning some good cash. My resolve falters every day, though.

>NO TANGIBLE PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE
But I have.

>DEPRESSION RELAPSE
What do you mean, "relapse"?
