Latter.
I'm kind of running out of options. I was planning to go back to school for a technical degree but if I have this much trouble from the first half of a ing basic class then I'm pretty damn sure I can't hack a whole degree. So what the do I do now? Keep on at menial jobs for five more decades? that. I've been pushed along all my life by the illusion of being exceptional. Too many people blowing sunshine up my ass because oooh I know some fancy words and read a lot. In reality I'm a next to useless, cringing, slow-witted little . |

Jesus christ, lol. Do some more self reflection and get to know yourself better. It sounds like you're way out of tune with what your skills and talents are, and are pursuing a path that isn't in line with them.
I mean, you've been miserable for months. In my experience, the most miserable people are the ones whose goals/ambitions/whatever aren't congruent with what they're actually good at, or what they have the potential to be successful at. And do you have a personally meaningful definition of what success is to begin with?
And don't even give me that *Eeyore voice* "Duhhh, but I haven't got any skills or talents" bull. EVERYONE does.
And by the way, you aren't even 30 years old yet, are you? For 's sake you have your whole life ahead of you. There isn't a time limit on finding something to do with yourself that you find rewarding.
I just saw a Bruce Lee quote on someone else's FB today that said "Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one."
I think that applies to you. :p |

| God Damnit, JBJ. Calculus exists in technical schools because it's there to weed out the people who can't hack it. I had taken 8 high-level math courses by the time I was finished with my degree, in like 5 different forms of calculus lol. I got C's in ing all of them. I got discouraged but I picked up my skirt and I finished the deal. They were right about it. It weeded out more than half of the people who had started it. Just get by the math if you're not good at it, go see some tutors who can help you. Study hard. If you want to drop out and wind up mixing cement because you couldn't cut it, then that's cool, but I think you're selling yourself short. Give more effort. |

I have Philosophy and Psychology degrees (stfu Jenny), and I'm a Network Admin making a very good salary right now. I started out at ty tech support help desks a few years ago and just learned things either through jobs or reading on my own. You don't need a specialized degree to be successful in the tech field. If that's something you're interested in, it's quite easy to work your way up to a "career."
A lot of my coworkers don't have Computer Science degrees either. Even some of the really really smart networking guys with the CCNP certs didn't even go to college for what they do now.
Likewise, I knew a kid from my fraternity who busted his ass all through college to get a Molecular Biology degree in the hopes of going to med school. He was constantly having to study his ass off to someday becoming a doctor. He now has a degree in Molecular Biology, and is going to Law School.
Basically the point is that you don't need a specific degree in a lot of fields to be successful. Find something you like, that you're also good at, and put in the work to succeed.

Never
Edit: And of all of the Comp Sci classes I took as an undergrad, I use very little of what I learned there on a daily basis. I'm a terrible programmer, but the good thing about that is that I don't need to be a good one to do my job. |

Would having a higher paid job make you happier? Do you define yourself around your source of income, or your level of income? Do you want a job that you enjoy doing? These are not rhetorical questions, I'm genuinely interested in whether you're miserable because you hate your job or because you see your job as a reflection of yourself.
From the outside and from a distance, this looks like nothing more than another of your abortive attempts at self-betterment, none of which you really give a about. |
