Contemplating dropping out from studying accounting
I’m currently a freshman in college studying accounting. Previously I was at one of the best colleges in the nation but transferred to a state school because of tuition costs.
I did work as a welding apprentice in HS but didn’t continue because I started school. Tbh I’m tired of being broke, I have nobody to depend on since my father died before my senior year of hs I’ve been taking care of myself. I’m just lost, spending 4 years to get a degree seems like a long time and I just really want to make lots of money and become a millionaire. that’s my only goal in life since I grew up poor.
I also feel that college is a scam, I attended GA Tech which is supposedly a T20 college. I’m instate and tuition including room/board was 18.5k a SEMESTER. I did not feel like I was getting 19k worth of instruction or anything, why the hell is this so expensive? I feel like I’m being scammed because I have to take classes that have nothing to do with my major. In all honesty my degree could be completed in like 2 years without these classes. Don’t even get me started on textbooks.
I am interested in accounting no doubt but holy shit man why can’t all these useless ass classes just be more accounting/business related classes that’ll make me a better accountant? That’s what I’m paying for right???? With all these prerequisites and required electives/classes, they could instead have a path that leads to a CPA with the degree, no??? Instead of 150 credit hr requirement why not just have the exams as part of the degree and structure it to only have accounting and business courses???
Should I stick it out in college or drop out and become a tradesman? I’m also considering aviation mechanic or something that is in high demand that I can get into within 1-2 years or less. Thank you for reading my rant
