Dropped out of school today

[CFH]

I did.

I went back to school to get a second bachelor's degree, but a month in I knew it wasn't the right thing at this time. I've been ridiculously stressed-out about it for a couple of months and am now questioning my decision. I love my brain .

I'll likely be applying to a couple of graduate programs in social work while doing some volunteering and looking for work in the interim.

I don't know why I posted this here, I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Don't worry bout it dude, if you give it a try and it ain't for you then no problem. If you decided not to give it a shot and regretted it down the line then that could have proper stuck with you.

I always prefer to regret the fuck ups I have done rather than the ones I haven't. Which gives me enough to regret without starting on the stuff I ain't done.

Definitely.

I do want to go back to school, but doing another bachelor's degree would have killed me. It just felt like I was doing the same thing I did 5 years ago, and what's the point in that? I have a friend who is pushing me towards law school, but I think I'm going to try to pursue a Masters program.

Sounds like you made the right decision mate. Nothing to say you can't go back in a few years when the time is right for you.

You live you learn... Make the next move. :)

Its tough finding what the heart desires and still interests the mind.

Im hating my job now after nearly 40 years but I feel stuck in it for the time to cash ratio and if I let it go, its gone.

This type of stuff eats at your health if you allow it to linger into deeper feelings.

I admire your willingness to move on.

I think a willingness to move on is something that is going to be negatively affecting our workforce in the next few decades. I've done 5 or 6 jobs since I graduated, the longest of which has been 3 1/2 years, and really it isn't enough to get a massive experience in any one job.

In some ways I wish I'd settled in one organisation and worked my way up to a better paying job, but right now I'm disliking my current job and looking for a way to move sideways or out. Being willing to take the leap isn't always a good thing.

What kind of jobs did you do? I'm try to work my way into some non profit fund development stuff. Im doing an unpaid internship as a grant writer with the Red Cross and I've been enjoying it so far. Looks like I might do something similar for a hospice soon too.
