I did excellent in high school and trade school but every time I attempt university I can't do it. I manage to last 1-2 years. Don't know why this happens but I see literal retards with two bachelors degrees.
Some possible explanations as to why this happens:
—Can't concentrate in classes of 100 people
—Professors who can't speak English
—Forced into group projects for literally everything with idiots
—Half the people are there to get laid and party instead of learning
—Half of your courses have nothing to do with your degree
—Workload gives zero free time outside of school hours
—Spend half your time walking around the giant campus looking for your classes
I wish I could muster the strength to get a degree because it would make my life so much easier but instead I'm relegated to skilled trades. Uni just feels like a massive humiliation ritual.
Do it if you have a real reason to, i.e. a career you are going to pursue based on the degree you get. But never go into ~$100k of debt for some bullshit Weimerican college degree. 20 years ago people could legitimately not know that it isn't really worth it (although even 20 years ago it would be hard to not know). But nowadays? Anyone who thinks US education means anything is fully retarded.
This basically means that university is for healthcare (doctor, PA, nurse), lawyer, engineer, accountant, finance, and maybe a few others along those lines. But the old "just study what you want and go to work, all employers care about is that you can learn" is bullshit that applied to the boomers. All that is long over now.
Since I don't know your situation and this is an anon board, I can't really give you more specific advice...
