I can't stand school. I got my associate's and I'm working on my bachelor's now (just started this semester) but I can't fucking stand it. I've been fucking around the past 2 weeks and as a result have missed a fuck ton of assignments.

I am very tempted to just drop out and look for a job. I already have a bit of professional work experience (tech job) at a legit company, but I was just there one year. I also have vocational school experience from back in high school (2 years) in network admin and information systems.The thing is, my A.S. is in Social Science and I'm currently working on a Bachelor's in Psych.

What am I gaining by finishing a Bachelor's in Psychology versus quitting and looking for some tech-related job?

I'd really just like to make music for a living, but I feel like that's damn near impossible.

Help, /adv/. I don't know what to do with my life.

Before the STEM brigade arrives, do you have any preference in psych-related jobs? If not, you should drop for at least a year or so.

I'm a psych major too, so I'll try to be of neutral help.

Not in particular, no. But I really don't know the extent of opportunities out there for a B.S. in Psych.

Sorry, I was in class. Anyways, B.S jobs actually in psych don't pay well. You can become a research assistant or a behavior technician (note: this means working with special needs people, in case that's a turn off). Both of those only makes around 30K though.

Many graduate degrees open doors, but that's more time and money of course. Right now, I'm looking into OT. It pays well and has jobs, but you'd have to do a 2-3 year program post undergrad to be one.

Also, something you might like, an anon yesterday told me of Human-Computer Interaction. It's a masters program that might appeal to you given your background.
