Should I drop out of college and get a trade?
I’m currently a freshman in college studying accounting. Previously I was at one of the best colleges in the nation but transferred to a state school because of tuition costs.
I did work as a welding apprentice in HS but didn’t continue because I started school. Tbh I’m tired of being broke, I have nobody to depend on since my father died before my senior year of hs I’ve been taking care of myself. I’m just lost, spending 4 years to get a degree seems like a long time and I just really want to make lots of money and become a millionaire. that’s my only goal in life since I grew up poor.
I also feel that college is a scam, I attended GA Tech which is supposedly a T20 college. I’m instate and tuition including room/board was 18.5k a SEMESTER. I feel like I’m being scammed because I have to take classes that have nothing to do with my major. In all honesty my degree could be completed in like 2 years without these classes. Don’t even get me started on textbooks.
Should I stick it out in college or drop out and become a tradesman? I’m also considering aviation mechanic or something that is in high demand that I can get into within 1-2 years or less
