I want to drop out of school after a break up. ?

2012-05-09 11:45 am
I recently posted a question about living with my ex as a roomate, and appreciate the help but i have a new delima.

I got a new job a few weeks before the breakup making about 50K a year, working 6 days(48-58) hours a week. Going up from my previous jobs pay of about 21k a year and 35-37hr a week.

I met my ex girlfriend online in a game and knew her and talked to her for about 2 years before we decided for me to make the move from Louisiana to Kansas to be together. One of the changes I made was that I started pursuing a degree from the University of Phoenix(online Axia college) in business management(mostly to put my future outlook in a position to better appeal to her), but now after the break-up and longer hours at work(up from 35 to 48-58) i just really have no desire to finish school.

I am making plenty of money to more than cover all my bills and save some as well, I just feel so pressured and stressed right now that I feel I cannot finish school and continue doing my job to the best of my potential.

What should I do?

If I continue school I will graduate in december with an associates in Business Management.

But I travel for work up an hour back and forth from the different job sites I go to(varies day to day 20-60min drive one way).

In my current position a degree will not help me move up at all....they are only looking for experience.

If you graduate at the end of this year, then don’t drop out! There is only about 7 months left anyway. Considering that you are studying and working at the same time, and then yes, it is normal to feel stressed. Maybe you can take a one week break from work and concentrate on schooling. Not working can take some stress off you and you will have more time to rest and do what you want. You should treat yourself with something special, something that you want or like but is within your budget. That will motivate you to not feel like dropping out of school.
Good Luck!

Dropping out seems like the wrong direction to go here. You never know what your future might have and if you are that close I would hate to see you drop out for the reasons you have stated.

Your current position may not require a degree, but perhaps in the future it might. Or you might end up going to another job in the future. Dont' say never as life has funny ways of changing that for you.

If you have desires of running a business or owning your own in your future then this is also a good thing to complete for.

Education should never be thrown away over relationships. Can you take breaks and come back later, sure you can. But don't wait too long as if you do, any by my own experience, it is very difficult to get back into it. Good luck.
