Unfortunately, unless you actually want to get ahead in life, you need a degree. Which I don't understand. What's with our national obsession with having a piece of paper just to get a job in the first place? Having a degree doesn't automatically mean you're somehow more qualified, especially if it's a job outside your chosen field. As the quality of college education deteriorates, the meaningfulness of a degree decreases in kind, and yet you're not considered hireable for anything besides backbreaking manual labor or soul-destroying retail or food service without one.

Stay in college. It took me 8 years and two breaks to finish, and while I'm currently jobless, my chances of finding a new job are vastly better than they would be if I'd never gotten my degree.

That scares me. All I have is the abstract idea of "someday this will lead to a job and a stable life", but there's the fear that it actually won't, and I'm just torturing myself for nothing.

[(Anonymous)]

There's no guarantees, anon. The point is, if you get a degree, your chances of a job and a stable life are almost exponentially better than if you don't.

I know it sucks, and it sucks even more with depression. But it really is better to struggle through it and finish if you can. These things do NOT get easier with age, trust me.

Having a degree usually just means "I fought and struggled through four years of shit because I WANT IT," and that's a good enough mark of character for anything. For some degrees--math or science, or advanced degrees--it means "I have the mental capabilities to do this work! AND I WANT IT."

That shit is better than a resume, even when they're not required for a position.

I'm sorry but this? Personally, I have had minimal interested in the coursework section of my resume. HR was much more interested in my actual work experience.

I was lucky to go to a college with co-op so I had 3 work experiences ready and that's the reason why I got hired right out of college, not the degree itself. (So HR tells me.)
