Quit school and work full-time. School isn't for everyone.

OP,

Just in case you don't clue in, this is what's known as a 'level.'

In other words, this should be your last resort. By a mile.

May not be a level. My happiest friends said [censored] school and went into a trade. They are happy, and rolling in the $$$$.

Not necessarily a level. It's true, some people are not cut out for a college education.

I wasn't always this bad. Last semester I was still a procrastinator but I did stay till morning hours doing homework at the last minute. This semester I have let myself go. No late night study sessions, no late night homework sessions. I always just say "ok ill do it tomorrow, ok ill email the teacher and ask for more time" always coming up with get out of jail cards.

This semesters i have stopped caring even though I care a lot or else I wouldn't be posting this. I just can't get myself to do anything. I know when stuff is due but ill go watch tv, go on the net, go to sleep or whatever. I can't help it I know it's killing me!

I was not not levelling FWIW. Getting a full-time 40hr/week job that pays decently with an opportunity to advance is a better alternative than wasting money on school when you aren't motivated to work at it.

Not everyone is meant to go to college and go work at some cubicle job and make $80K+ a year like most people want to.

I respect managers at retail/food stores just as much, if not more than some hot shot investment banker. If school really isn't your thing it really isn't the end of the world...

Sorry, my Level Detector is usually running good.

And you're right, a college degree is not the universal solution.
