what is a good profession you can do without a college degree?

wtf

 

a groupie

 

Man up and just get through school.

I dropped up, manned up, and came back... now I only have a year left till I'm done with it.

College is pointlessly easy... that's why it's so damn hard for me to find any motivation in it at all.

But ehh, fuck it... enjoy college... get drunk, get high, meet some people. You'll regret dropping out eventually.

 

What are you studying for?

 

are you part time? why are you doing so poorly in school?

 

psychology, oddly enough

no clue what i'd want to do with it

Going by your posts I am assuming you want more out of life than a simple 9-5 job for the rest of your life. You have both the intelligence, the drive and the mindset to live a richer life.
My suggestion is to drop the social inborn thinking and follow the good old heart instead of logic.

 

Sounds interesting...well I guess you could open up your own practice after you get your degree.

 

i'm full time.

there are some multiple reasons. mostly all involve a complete and utter lack of willpower, as lame as that sounds. i don't have the best attendance, and i have trouble forcing myself to study late into the night and get up and do it all over again, you know?

i think i'm going to go another year, and if i can't get my act together, then i'll see about doing something else.

like i said, it's embarassing. i know that people who have no difficulty with concentration or with making themselves do things they don't want to will be judgmental. it's a matter of "so just do it anyway," and i know it is. my problem is in actually getting myself to do it, getting any motivation for it.

add medications would help. the only time i can remember being a good student in highschool was when they put me on adderall. but there are too many side effects i hated....i don't know.

 

thats my major. you can do a lot with a psych degree but let me tell you, you need to go to grad to school to do anything remotely interesting that will make some money. a BA in psych will get you nowhere, the only thing you can do is low counseling jobs and sub teaching. if you dont like school then...get out now or change your major, for real. you could always go to grad school for something other than psych though.
i have always loved clinical psych and im going to grad school for a clinical program specializing in working with trauma victims. i eventually want to end up in marriage and family therapy many years down the road from now. let me know if you wanna chat sometime

 

being a therapist is my worst nightmare. if i do anything with psychology specifically in the field, it will have to be in academia

 

yeah, i know, but even if i weren't working in a psychology-specific profession, having a college degree would get me a LOT farther than not having one when looking for a decent job, regardless of what my major was.

 

Post office pays good. But if you have the means to go to college, then why don't you go to a technical school or something? I'm probably going to do that when I can finally file my FAFSA as an independent adult. I'm considering culinary school or maybe a school that certifies lab technicians. It's not a lot of school, but you still can make a hell of a lot more money. Out here there's lots of well-paying opportunities for males without degrees, but not so much for females.

 

but yeah, that clinical stuff is really interesting, just really not for me. i'd have a terrible time not taking it home with me.

how much more time do you have left? just get the BA to have something under your belt and take it from there

 

anyway, i think i've decided i'll give it at least one more year before i decide if college really isn't for me, because i DO want that degree and i think maybe i CAN get my shit together.

i've just been really stressed out about it lately is all.

edit: instead of quoting more and having another post i'll just do it here
@whimbrel, i'm a junior. i was going very part time at a 2 year school for a while, and when i transferred to an out of state university not all my credits came with me, and i went from quarters to semesters so transferring credits was even a little worse for it.

 

theres a lot of grad programs that combine psychology and business for people interested in industrial-organizational psychology, you will make a lot more money right off the bat than a lot of people who have no business component integrated into their program. does educational or school psych interest you at all?

you could also look into something very non-clinical like research psychology

 

You can become a researcher in your field. Discover new stuff and formalize theories..that kinda thing.
