is it really worth it to drop out of community college?

hi again,

i have been in a community college for about 4 years now, coming up this august. ive been in it since my junior of high school (2023-24) and i think im struggling to find motivation to complete my aa degree. it’s draining my money like crazy and i think my parents are right. i think it is time to take a break from education and move on.

i think i posted on here yesterday about the special education and my math skills and it’s particularly about it and some other things. i wouldn’t say im bad or good at math, i just don’t know how to learn it. i tried so many times and my brain doesn’t want to learn after being exposed to it so many times.

i also looked into youtube shorts, videos, and google about how others felt, why they did, and it’s more almost the same reason: they held themselves to a high expectation.

im guilty of doing that to myself, pushing others to do well and i was doing it to myself more. i even do it to my sims on sims 4 because i believe they could do better than me, realizing its way more sadder than its painted.

im thinking about dropping out, but not really sure on my decision. i am only 19, been going at it for about 4 years now.

what’s your advice? do you have experiences similar to this?

**note: i don’t like “taking breaks,” im so constant on doing things, i never want to stop, etc. is it bad that i just want to be consistently busy and never stop?
