This is going to be a hard one to post, so bear with me. Im withdrawing from school Monday. Im sure a lot of people will be rejoicing in their victory, and thats fine, gloat away. When I said a couple months ago I was going to quit because I couldnt afford it, I was offered a lot of help with my bills and things, so I thought I could stick it out. Well, that help vanished. After I pay the bills for the month, Im done for. No more money. Ive been trying and trying to find weekend jobs, but no one will hire me. At this point, Id have to make $2-300 a weekend just to get by, and fat chance of that happening. I swore, after my last job in the field, that I would never go into engineering again. My first boss tried desperately to get in my pants, and when that didnt work, I got written up for imaginary transgressions, even given a warning that Id be fired for another violation. So I moved on to another job that I had to drive an hour each direction, so the great pay (I thought) got eaten up a LOT bu gas money. One day, in casual conversation, my male coworker, who had less education and less experience, let it slip that he was making more than twice what I was. I got upset (I think rightfully) and the next day, they found an excuse to fire me. I swore up and down Id never go back to engineering. I had a nervous breakdown about it. So I decided to go back to school. My husband and his friends raised hell, said I should be picking up another full time gig instead. But a I wanted at least a fighting chance at my dreams. Well, you were all right. Does that make you happy? Go ahead and gloat, post I told you so in the comments, Im too burn out and numb to care anymore. I am an abject and total failure. Halfway through my last semester, to get my BA and possibly end up doing something I love, and I cant do it. Well end up homeless if I keep trying. Monday morning, Ill be calling some of the recruiters that have been calling me for engineering jobs, and hopefully I can pick one up in the next week or so. Ill he withdrawing from school Monday, and I cant go back again. Financial aid has run out for me, and I think I get WFs for all my classes because its so late in the semester. I almost did it. Almost. Thank you so much for everyone who has been supportive of me and believed in me. I wish I could have lived up to it.
