Would I be absolutely retarded to quit grad school?
I'm in my 3rd year of a 2 year masters, and just... Everything I wanted to do didn't work out, but my advisor claims I have enough for a thesis. But I hate what I'm doing, I have zero interest in it. It's not that I'm stupid, I've aced every class I ever took without effort, I just can't make myself write this shit. It seems so pointless. And I'm in geoscience so the market is fucked and I have no hope for a job with this degree and honestly it doesn't really apply to much else besides a very narrow field.
I just... Should I somehow force myself to just fucking finish? I'm rapidly running out of time, no more funding and my savings are dwindling... I'm also depressed, and stressed out, and suffering from severe anxiety. But I'm terrified I'd be throwing everything away for stupid reasons. Also I don't want to disappoint my family and friends and everyone that assumed I'm so smart and would do great things. I can't stand the guilt of that, of being a fucking failure when I've always been successful at everything.
I just don't know what the fuck to do. All I know is I've made some apparently shit choices and am not at all happy where I am now. But I've come so far already...
Alternately how the fuck can I get rid of this apathy and motivate myself? I have to do something.
I know this comes across as whiny but I'm just completely I don't even know, like just fuck my shit up...
