I felt that way too, about college. Everyone said it was normal and don't drop out, it would be okay. Well, it wasn't okay. I was miserable and would give anything in the world to go back in time and drop out and have those years back. If you feel that way about grad school, then it may not be for you. Grad school isn't for me either (I'm thinking of dropping it) and it isn't for everyone, and you just don't continue something that makes you feel like killing yourself. Do something you love instead and don't let anyone tell you to stick it out if you don't want to. -a quitting validator

I fully support you if you want to quit. I'm in a grad program right now for job training, and I hate how much work there is and that I don't have enough time to do all the things I want to do. And what's worse is that I can't talk to anyone about - everyone tells you to jsut stick with it. Here's the thing - grad school's not as bad for me, but college was. I loved high school because it was fun, but I hated college so much, yet everyone you talked to said to suck it up or stick it out. Well, that's what I did, and I still regret it to this day. I am different person because of my college experience, I still have horrible flashbacks to my miserable time, and I will never have the life I used to have before college. I would give anything in the world to go back and drop out, All I want to do in my life now is be a quitting validator, to help other people quit when they don't like something. So if you aren't enjoying your experience and don't think it will lead you where you want to be, I encourage you to quit. I would have given anything in the world for someone to accept when I said I wanted to quit college, because I meant it. I hope you take this as validation and at least leave quitting on the table as an option.
