It's kinda frustrating. My parents both tell me "make sure you get your degree" and my mom's friend posted on my wall saying "so are you gonna finish?" and even my boss asked me if I'm gonna finish out my degree.
Yes, I'm finishing my degree. I have a full-time job but that doesn't mean I'm not finishing my degree. When it comes time to move companies, not having a degree will put me at a disadvantage and I don't want that. I'm going to get my degree. I'm going to finish my degree. After some period of time I will have a degree. Augh.
If you've been in school long enough it really feels like you won't finish. One of my friends is on year 7 of his B.S. so we're pretty sure he's not going to bother finishing.
But I've shown them exactly what classes I've taken and what classes I need to take and I've been taking a full load of required classes every semester (except this one, where I dropped 60% of my classes for work). So I was gonna graduate in December, but now I'm gonna graduate next May. Not exactly pie-in-the-sky here.
What's the reaction? Your friends take your time away I can't believe this, I'm ****ing 17, don't they think I know WTF is up with my life? ARGH Flame me, for all I give a crap, DO IT, Any ideas for making my next move?
Degrees are overrated. My sister has a bachelor's in information science and can't find a job, whereas I dropped out of high school and also can't find a job, but unlike her I get fat checks from the government.

but I didn't do like crap. I did well-enough to get a full-time job! My grades have been less than exemplary, but I still accomplished my goal.

degrees work in conjunction with the effort one puts into understanding the knowledge that comes with them
a degree is just a piece of paper without the stuff you learned, however if you actually mastered the teachings of your major then you should not have any prob finding a job

I'm pretty sure most of these people don't know I dropped 60% of my classes. They just know I got a full-time job that normally requires a degree and they think I'm gonna say THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT and quit.
And even then, the classes I dropped aren't required. They're more roundabout ways of fulfilling various flags that I can fill with other classes in my major later.
