Good advice in this thread. Listen to these people.
I've wasted a shitload of money and don't have shit to show for it. Why? Because I hate school and when it comes to classes, I've been way too lazy to make an effort. I never study, EVER. There were some days when I didn't feel like wasting gas by driving to school, so I didn't go to class.
CSCC bores the shit out of me, and I hate the pre-req classes that you gotta take. I have a 2.something GPA and lost financial aid because I dropped too many classes. Now I am ineligible for that, so I just pay as I go and take one or two classes at a time.
It took me a couple years and cost me a lot of money, but I finally realize that I gotta get my shit in gear and quit slacking. Business classes were cool, law enforcement class was cool, classes that actually teach you stuff, I enjoy. But there is no excuse for not passing the bullshit classes, as much as I hate them. You just gotta stay motivated. I mean the classes aren't hard at all, it just kills me that I gotta take such pointless BS that I have zero interest in. But thats life, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Just be smarter with your time, go to class, try harder. Don't be like how I've been.
