Hi everyone, I haven't posted on CA in a while as I've been busy with school, but I'm in need of some advice.
So I have $45,000 in student debt, and I'm not even close to getting my associates degree. Before college, I naively chose to go to an art school, because, at the time, I believed that I was going to be a really great artist and I would be working in the industry someday. Well, I realized that I'm probably never going to be any good at making art; I also learned that I hate making art for other people and I learned how stressful working in the industry really is—I decided that it's not for me.
I'm not even sure if I should finish college now because I'm in so much debt... By the time I would get my bachelors, I would be in college for over six years and put myself in even more debt. I'm not sure what school I want to go to, I'm not sure what I should study, and I don't know what I want to do after I graduate. I heard that job outlooks are better for people with college degrees, but I don't think it's worth it at this point with so much debt...
I'm not gifted in anything... I am the worst at math and anything that's really structured, I'm just incompetent at it, and I'm not very good at communicating with other people—both of which are huge aspects for any real job it seems...
Right now I'm living at home with my parents, out in the boonies, and I don't have a car of my own to at least get a really crappy job.
What can I do?
