I completely agree. Plus, being in a creative field like me, talent and connections get you access to jobs, not a piece of paper. I actually just recently had a discussion with a guy I worked on set with and he respects me more because I dropped out of school and found my own way rather than stick it out. Different industries are different, and different people are different. He's a bit of a rebellious drop out rockstar as well so I think that similarity let us connect on a deeper level. That said, I'm a lucky fuck in a lot of ways and my story is probably not typical.

I couldn't agree more, but you never know when you might want to change fields and you never know what the next path might require.
But is taking that amount of a precaution worth it?
Yes. You have nothing to lose by finishing really and you have nothing to gain by quitting. As I said earlier, the life of a moneyless nomad isn't going anywhere. Enjoy your camping trip, find some joy out there pal!
Good point again. Thank you, I hope a nice little vacation in nature will help sooth my mind.
Now that's something I've always been interested in trying.
Yeah jazz studies with emphasis on bass performance. Haha, you have a point. Sooner or later I will. I don't have any qualms about trying drugs that occur naturally.
Yes, a vacation might help a lot. Regardless, give yourself 2 weeks before you make a decision. I took 3 to make a final decision and I'm glad I did because my emotions and viewpoint swung back a forth a lot. Also, if you do decide to quit, make sure to go through the right paths and don't burn any bridges. Make it a leave of absence so you have a backup for a period of time. I was on LoA for 2 years and NYU still emails me today asking if I want to register for classes next semester.
