Quick background: I am currently 19 in my second year as a Computer Science undergraduate at a British university. I'm preparing for my midterms and I have 2 more years.This one and the next one.
If you take the time to read this I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
When I went to uni I did it for several reasons I believed were valid at the time: 1. I wanted to have skills so that I can work for others until I do something for myself(like a safety net). 2. Pressure from family-school growing up that I had to go to university. These are the ones I can think at the top of my head.At least these are the ones that keep me from dropping out.Especially number 2.
I do not like what I'm doing and I can barely pass my modules.Right now I should be studying for my upcoming exams. But I hate studying so much and my degree gets into way much detail that I don't care about. I enjoy about 20% of what I do.
To sum it up, I want your advice. My gut tells me to just go through with it and then invest all of my free time into learning about entrepreneurship and broadening my horizons on what I can do to make money. Then I can work on something productive while studying, or even while working in IT. But I don't know enough to trust myself to just drop out right now. I have never made money in my life, so I don't know what else to do at this point besides being a good student and hoping I can work for someone else after I get my degree.(which I cannot get if I am not completely focused and not stressed like I am right now)
