Take a rest. School will be there if you decide to try it again. Take it from me; I'm a 40 year old senior at Indiana University. I'll be 41 in a few weeks.

I apologize if it appeared that I was trying to push you to do something you didn't want to do. I just think back ten years ago when I was your age. I was giving college my second try then and only made it two quarters. I was trying to say to you the things that might have changed my mind back then. But you and I are different people. We are in different situations and have different problems. I should not have assumed what might have worked for me would work for you.

I will offer a bit of advice and I don't think this will be out of line despite what I said above. I think a problem with what you were doing is that you were not in a field of study that works with your strengths. I've seen you produce some amazing photographs, pictures that look to me to be of a professional talent. I'd explore that or something related to it as a possible career.

Hang in there. TexasTowelie Sep 2013 #1
