    No point going to college if you don't like it and are just going to fail. You just gonna end up getting suspended and getting deeper into debt.

    Take a gap year and see what life is like without a college degree, you gon be running back to school quick

    That's what I'm thinking but I really don't have a clue what to do.
    I'm thinking Heavy Vehicle Mechanic/Diesel Mechanic, so a mechanic for buses and commercial trucks but I don't really know much about it..

    Find a job and something you actually enjoy doing, regardless of the money. Something passionate for you. College really isn't for everyone.

    There are definitely careers you can get into that don't require a degree.

    Shame on you for saying this.

    It comes down to being creative though, there are so many programs you can do or even businesses that you can create that you don't need college.

    Unfortunately we can't just switch majors here (unless it's into a very similar degree).
    So I'd have to drop out and reapply, I might get some exemptions but it would still be 4 years of college all over again.

    Say if I wanted to study Digital Marketing (I don't), I would start over from first year but because 90% of our course/major content is similar I would only need to study the other 10%, so I could have 1 module worth of work + a test, but I don't get an exemption and I still have to complete that year of work independently, I can't just do that as a second year.

    I don't hate business, I hate business degrees.

    Are u the the us?

    I'm studying Business, it's a piss take of a degree but I'm failing it down to nothing more than a complete lack of interest and an inability to apply myself to do the work.

    I've been in a great mood over the past couple weeks, my exams finished and I could just forget about college for the Christmas break.

    My results are out at the end of the month and I am almost certain I failed.
    If I did, I won't be continuing with the degree.
    I probably failed a stupid logistics program based module, SAP logistics s*** that I just cannot wrap my head around.
    I hate college.

    I also tried an apprenticeship, I worked as an apprentice electrician, I found the work boring and I really just was not a fan of working in the freezing cold and pissing rain.

    I don't know where that leaves me..
    What else can I do?

    I have zero intentions of just working a dead end job for the rest of my life.

    Don't ask others what you should do. If you are unhappy with what you are doing, look for alternatives, try many trades. Fail many times and stick to the thing that makes you passionate.

    My attention span is insanely good if it's something I'm interested in, but give me something I don't care for and it'll never get done.

    Don’t wanna be an armchair psychiatrist but you very well could have ADHD. My girlfriend has it (and I potentially do as well but need to go to get tested to confirm) and that is exactly how she is. At the very least, try to go to speak to someone about your feelings. Utilize campus resources, you literally pay for them so there’s no reason not to at this point. Hope you get through dude!

    I had a similar experience and ended up switching my major, and trying to find a different avenue that I enjoyed. Graduated this December and am working from home right now but going to start looking for a job here real soon. You’ll figure it out bro, don’t stress

    Living the dream.

    My problem is that when something comes up thats difficult I cannot do it.

    I got 90% in a marketing exam and 70% average in the others, but last semester I barely passed a stupid excel module..

    If I don't like it I can't do it, if it's a physical job I don't enjoy I can do it but sitting at a desk doing something i don't enjoy is a no go.

    i started off in B2B sales and i wasn't tied to a desk 24/7

    u get around quite abit in sales have to be able to talk to ppl tho
