Too Coo 4 Schoo?

Get the degree, because let's be honest after all the school you've already been through, what's one more year going to do? Then after you get the degree check your options and see what you want to do. You will regret not finishing college later
 
School is really just a place for connections and not for degrees. Just as you said, non-specific majors are kind-of a joke but what you get from going into college are connections that can help you get a job. You can get recommendations and shit like that, and what most people are looking for when they hire someone is whether or not they went to college, not what they studied in college (unless it's an engineering or technical job). I think that your best option would just be to finish college and then move to colorado, you will have that ability to say that you have gone to college and that will give you the upper-hand in applying for jobs down there. But in the end, it is your decision so I urge you to do whatever you think would be right for you.
 
gpa doesn't matter as much anymore. It only matters to get your first job, but anyone who is hiring would take somebody with a shit gpa and a couple years of experience over a 4.0 gpa. Its hard to get into the workforce, but once your in, its pretty smooth sailing.
 
Thank you to all of those who read what I had to offer and responded with thoughtful contributions. A few clarifications:

I don't smoke and drink all the time. If you're wondering, I typically consume 15-20 drinks and 1-2 Gs per week. Personally, I don't think that is a problem. Some of you will be forever convinced I'm a dumbass, but I don't really care. Getting good grades is a problem I've had for the past year. Truman State University is not the easiest school. Look it up. However, I am still very involved on campus and in the community. Last year I was news editor for the school newspaper, which has consistently ranked in the top five (once eighth) school newspapers in the country (according to the Society of Professional Journalists). I am the president of the climbing club. I pick up peoples' food waste on a bike every Sunday to make compost for the University farm. I am currently getting some poetry published. I am very involved in PUSH America, a philanthropy for the physically and mentally disabled. I am working with the Health and Excercise Sciences department to create a climbing course. I have assisted in fundraising for a paved trail to be built from downtown to the local State park. I'm in jazz band and a few other side things.

Blablabla... I'm not trying to jizz out a resume, as much as I'm trying to show that it's not all about points and percentages for me. So, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and this is the game plan I have so far:

Move to Colorado in January and ski and climb a lot. A LOT. Get a job (I have a few connections). I can take classes at a community college or online during the spring and summer to get 10 credits or so. Get a single pitch climbing instructor cert from the American Mountain Guide Association. In the fall, hopefully I will be refocused and I can finally "get that piece of paper."

Sidenote: AR6rider, it appears you have a lot of posts, and you've probably tried to gain respect from the Newschoolers community for some years. Either way, you've lost mine on multiple occasions. So for now, fuck you.
 
why did you go to school in Missouri?

just transfer to Colorado

if you quit you'll regret it, and if you "take a break" you'll never come back

it would be more of a waste of money if you did 2 to 2.5 years and just bailed with nothing to show for it
 
This is a pretty good idea. I like that your still getting college credit while doing what you love. Perfect!
 
take time off think about it

but personally i have also dropped out and do not regret it one bit

that was just not my kind of lifestyle

no matter how much money i can make or wtv

''we sit on front porches and swing life away

we get by just fine here on minimum wage''
