In all honesty go work offshore. You can make lots of money in a short time so if you wanted to get back into college in a few years you would have a lot of money saved. Friend of mine works 4 on 2 off and brings home about 6k every month. If i was in your spot, i'd do it in a heartbeat. Especially since you have no career direction as is. use the down time on the boats to write your screen play or figure yourself out

My dad, who works in the oilfield, says never, ever do that. He's seen too many kids with that plan never go back to school because it's hard to give up that baller money and go back to being a poor student

N-speed, I know no one wants to graduate with major debt, but if your parents have been paying, then couldn't you take out student loans for just one year? I mean it's not impossible to go to college without your parents' assistance. I don't speak from personal experience. But I know people who worked two jobs and paid for school so they wouldn't have loans

Seriously, film major? That's a no brainer no. Eco whatever? I don't know what that is. HR? Meh. At my office when I was still in Shreveport the secretary had an HR degree. I made more money than her and had a better job with only one year of college. Stick it out and get a good degree where you can find a job that pays well and is in demand
