I'm currently halfway through my 2nd-to-last semester of college as a finance major at what used to be my dream school and I just cannot stand this anymore. I've been getting anxiety attacks almost every class since I have to sit there and listen to all these professors preach about how getting jobs at banks/firms in a few months is the complete end-goal. On top of that, the college of business at my school is known as one of the toughest in nation; so they are always assigning long and menial assignments; and the exams are absolutely insane.
What makes it even worse is the fact that I HAVE started a variety of companies/websites over the past year that have generated sales for me. But I just simply did not have the time due to school or the capital (since I'm a full-time student) to scale up and continue.
Just knowing that I have the potential to make money for myself but not being able to because I am always busy with school has made it impossible for me to care about it anymore. My grades the past two semesters have been on a downward curve so much so that I actually received my first 'F' last semester because I simply could not get myself to study material that I don't care about for four days straight.
In a slowlane job, atleast I would be getting paid for my time to be wasted but instead I am blowing through money that shouldn't have to be spent. My parents have my college pre-paid for but we are a very middle class family so I know rent, food, etc. really adds up for them.
I wish I could just get a 9-5 at this point and start raising capital for my endeavors but I still have 6 classes left and have a fear of ending up working at a fast-food place if I don't have a degree.
I know I have what it takes to make it, but my current situation is holding me back and I don't know what to do..
