Dropping Uni

Should I drop out of Uni? I am 22 years old, getting a psychology and csc combined major. I am almost certain I have adhd although I am undiagnosed. My adhd isnt so bad I cant hold down a job or something, just more so extreme procrastination and inability to pay attention to boring lectures no matter how much I try to. Obviously this makes school very difficult for me, and to be honest I am not sure whether or not I would be able to do the kind of job I would end up getting with this degree because of my issues. I am also a bit worried my degree is a meme degree since half of it is studying psyc but I do take a lot of software engineering and csc as well. I am seriously considering dropping out and going into trades or something but I am scared since I have worked shitty labor jobs before and I don't want to go back to that life. Idk if the trades are like that though? My dad is a sprinkler fitter and he tells me I definitely should not drop out but he has done well for himself in life.

Basically I am wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar to this and what did you do. did you drop out and regret it? did you drop out and go into trades and wished you had done it sooner? Is there a path to a successful career I am not thinking of?

I also live in a city to go to uni and I fucking hate cities. So would be a nice perk to be able to leave.

Uni is worthless for most people. I didnt drop but I wish that I had. Now I work for a oil company as a medic. I make 6 figures. Before that I was on an ambulance making $25/hr. Imagine if I didn't waste 5 years of my life in uni for a bullshit degree where I would be.

what was your degree in?

Economics. It's a worthless degree unless you are going to teach. Lol. What a drain, right? I'm going to get a degree to teach others who will also go on to teach.

haha. The only economist I know is my stepdad's stepdad and he is a professor.

Trades are sounding better and better. Working in an ambulance must have been tough. I had an uncle who does it and he got ptsd. Though i guess the job is never boring. The worst part for me is I assume you have an absolutely fucked sleep schedule while doing it

Hi op, I was in a really similar situation to you 3 or so years ago and it's only recently gotten more on track.
I was going to school for physics, but my grades were dropping, I was running out of money and I was losing steam, so I dropped out, thinking that I was going to work towards getting an apprenticeship as an electrician.
One thing that you need to start with is that your problems aren't just fucking disorders of whatever. adhd is jewish propaganda to convince people to not better themselves and to take pills to make their lives "easier". You have trouble strudying and paying attention, no doubt, but you need to own that and take the time out of your life to fix that. Most boys have the same problem, you're not special or out of place in that regard.
Right now I just got a job working at a fiberglass manufacturing plant, getting paid 24 bucks an hour for pretty menial, somewhat dangerous work. But I've been a janitor for the last 2 years, cleaning toilets on night shift and applying for jobs inbetween. It's going to be hard and it's going to take a lot of time to get a job that's worth having. and it will be physical, I guarantee that. Physical work is rewarding in it's own way, you just have to take good card of your body.
Look, I was taking physics, thinging about going into engineering, and even I thought my degree was kind of worthless. psychology and csc combined? that's like something I'd put in a meme. Whatever degree you get, you will not be able to pay back your student loans. Honest to god, you're better off dedicating yourself to the trades than to uni, you will make more money in all respects.

Thanks for the advice man. Its basically what I have been thinking. I just know what it is like to work a shitty labor job that doesnt pay very much and has no opportunity to earn more. I remember the feeling of being so exhausted that I never felt like doing anything after working.

Just out of curiosity why did you not become a electrical apprentice? was it harder to do then you thought?

>unironically ever choosing psychology
Regardless trades are a very mixed bag, but IMO they more often than not suck. If you actually work hard then you will just be expected to slave away on behalf of everyone else, if you do not look like you are doing something even if you finished your shit then that is its own can of worms. I would say if you really have no idea what you are doing then it would not hurt to be a tradie a bit since you will not have as much debt to worry about and can always go back. Fucking 60 year olds graduate med school for christs sake. But seriously, lmfao at psychology.
t. 23 year old getting a cyber security degree with certs after working various tradie/wagie jobs, its all the same shit

I was in computer science and ended up dropping out after just a few months in. I ended up becoming a shutin neet but honestly it's been a long time coming and I wasn't surprised at all. Last 7 years of my life were just faking until you make it but I never did end up making it.
If there is other options you can try I would say give it a try but if you're empty like me I would say don't give up. It only gets worse when you do.

Ya i chose psyc to combine with csc because I couldn't get into straight csc cuz of grades. I could have done csc and math or csc and stats or something but I chose csc and psyc since I was most interested in the human brain. Apparently the degree would allow me to do things like design gui and work with AI. Unfortunately, I may have fallen for an illusion because I am not sure why people would hire me for those jobs and not just a straight csc.

I think I would be more successful in trades but I worry that maybe I would regret dropping.

Brutal man. I just want a career that I am good at and find some enjoyment in and would allow me to afford some rural land. Idk why its so hard for me to do this. I tend to get bored of things when I do them for too long which is unfortunate. I almost feel like I am not designed for the modern world, like I am some genotype that needs to be selected out. I feel like a generalist, I have many interests and want to become competent at many different things. But the modern world rewards specialists who like only doing one particular thing. I will figure it out though, or ill become a hobo or something lol. I mean I must fit in somewhere. There has to be some careers that would meet my criteria.

You are very similar to me. When I was younger I used to be optimistic and curious about the world but I feel like I don't fit in the modern world and all I want to do now is become a hermit in the countryside but even that requires money which I don't have.
I was lucky enough to be born in a country where it is easy to get neetbux, if not for that I would probably be homeless or dead. My advice is to not give up no matter how painful it is since complete emptiness and lack of any pleasure is probably one of the worst fates you can have. Fake it until you make it didn't work for me but I felt better when I was holding on to some sort of hope.

>why did you not become an electrical apprentice?
It's still in the works actually, its just that the list is so long that I was able to get this fiberglass job before the union got me an apprenticeship.
Still, an apprenticeship pays 33 bucks an hour as opposed to the 24 i get here. but there are lots of opportunities for advancment, including some with some electrical training, so that electrician path is still very much open to me.
If youre looking for any more advice, you need to take life into your own hands. Don;t wait for people to call you back, make phone calls, and always stay moving. Take that anxiety and turn it into useful energy. if you just wait patiently for life to reward you then you'll end up at the back of the line.

i got an associates degree from a community college in IT and im now in real uni working towards my bachelor's. i want an easy ass remote tech job, maybe a server admin, linux admin, etc.

a family friend said they'll back me up at their small company if i say i have two years of experience doing technician and admin shit in different positions even though i never did that in my life, am i good to get hired now? will the recruiters or HR find out this is bullshit?

>will the recruiters or HR find out this is bullshit?
almost certainly not, most people who end up getting hired for those jobs end up lying in some way on their resume anyways. Take that shot, you never know if it will be your last.
plus, since almost every sys admin job is different, it varries from company to company, you'll end up being trained on company specific stuff anyways.

We are similar user, but I am 30. I have never known what I wanted to do with my life. Not the foggiest of an idea. I went to community college for a couple years and changed majors 5 times. Held some part time jobs. I lived with my dad and he passed away when I was 20. It started the cycle in which I still find myself. Switching jobs and/or apartments every 6 months to a year. But eventually it runs out. You can only hold down entry level positions making just enough for booze and rent for so long. I've done everything from food service, banking, lawncare, janitor, delivery, sales...you name it. My last bright idea was getting my CDL and being a truck driver. Lasted 6 months before I got a better opportunity at my friends small business. Il leave out the gory details but I'm sober, living back with my mom and stepdad and am currently working in the trades. I'm technically a "low voltage electrician" but practically I install security systems and cameras. I can sum it up by simply saying its not what I want to do with the rest of my life. I feel the same about this job that I did with every other job, its a way to make money and eat time. I'm currently past the infatuation phase and am in the "What's thew next move?" phase. I'm studying for my CCNA to be a network engineer and this current position looks great on a resume. IT is something that meets the crossroads of interests I have and enough money to live by myself.

There is no answer to your problem. Whatever ADHD may or may not be I have it too. It's the gift of divergence and the curse of restlessness. I think at a certain point I have accepted that mastery is for normies. I will never master anything. But even now, I have competency in many areas. I think 80% of a job you learn in 2 years, the other 20% you learn until you are retired. I want to use these disparate realms of knowledge and combine them to make something new. I don't care anymore. I'm pursuing the unknown until I'm consumed.

i also have others doing this. there's an extremely small town down the road from me, middle of nowhere, my family's got roots there so i called a place there and the receptionist directed me to the boss lady after hearing my audacious request, she was really nice about it and asked me about my roots in the community. i larped that i'm from there and my surname happens to be swag there too, so she said she wanted to meet me IRL before she committed to this, so we met IRL and i toughed it out through my autism and we hung out for an hour in her office, she does nothing all day lmao. i think she's a cougar but she didn't wanna get in trouble and she's married. she's another "employer reference" i can use.

do you think there's an upper limit of bullshit i can just fling at the wall?

hard reality, I still have hope, I do feel it slip away sometimes though. Both my parents are middle class and successful so I never thought I would end up a loser but seems like I might. Never thought that much about being a neet. Dont even know how to do that but the free time would be nice.

Thanks. Just feel a bit lost. Good advice. I guess the worst thing I can do is nothing.

Dropped out for a very similar reason, although I'm still not sure what I'll do with my life (maybe web development until I get enough money for flight school), but currently working a wagie job which is surprisingly enough for my own place, considering the current economy.

Regardless even though I'm still not doing anything serious rn, I don't regret leaving.
