Sounds like you are leaning toward leaving school. Continuing education isn’t for everyone but, before you quit, give it a lot of consideration because many times life circumstance will make it difficult to go back. If you do decide to quit, be sure you know what other opportunities are available to you. You mentioned getting into construction, but right now with the bad economy, you may want to rethink that. My son is in construction and has been out of work for a year because they are not building homes due to the poor market. So, research the options in your area before quitting school. Also, the holidays are just around the corner and it is likely you will be going homexat that time. Don’t make any decision until after the holiday. Going home might be a good dose of medicine for homesickness and, more importantly, will give you some perspective.
