what subject in High School did you do best in? I always got A’s in English so I majored in English in college and now I am an ESL Teacher in Japan. I love it! Figure out what subject you can do well in and then major in that.

why is college a joke?

College can feel like a joke, and in all truth it can be less than it’s touted as being. However, I’d have you consider some things. Any degree in college, ANY degree, will increase both the range of jobs you can get and your earning potential in a lot of different job markets, regardless of whether or not that market is directly related to your field of study. Sure, there are plenty of job markets where you need a specific type of degree… but if you drop out of college you won’t be worried about these anyway. If college is not a specific tool to get to a specific point in your life, it can still be a very useful general resource.
If you have a specific goal that does not involve college, by all means go out and chase your dreams. College is one of the businesses with the greatest marketing and plenty of people will try to convince you that you need college to do anything worthwhile or profitable in life. That is a lie. However, if you aren’t chasing something specific, give yourself the wide range of opportunities that a college degree can offer. If you aren’t chasing something specific, you just might drop out of college and spend the next many years working at your local pizza hut while thinking about the things in life that may or may not be a joke.
A college degree, even if it is not for some very specific goal, can offer a wide variety of opportunities both in experiential gain and financial gain. If you don’t know what you want to do, why unnecessarily close such big doors?
