Should I Quit School and Enter the Job Market?

In summary, the person is having a debate about whether or not to continue their education. They have recently accepted a position to study physics, but have canceled their plans to pursue a degree and removed all of their upcoming courses from their timetable. They are considering going back to complete their BA in Philosophy, or entering the job market without a degree. They are from California and their parents do not want them around anymore. They have the desire to learn physics, but have no motivation to do so because of their current situation. They may be wasting one semester of time.

Maybe it is also a good idea to observe yourself while doing different activities to see which ones seem to appeal to you the most and maybe you can use that to help select your career path.

I agree with getting a job and living on your own first.

Then you can take free physics courses through programs such as that at Stanford and other universities.

BTW, when you do get a job, I recommend sending your parents some cash every month for a while as a thank
you gesture for letting you live there rent free for all those extra years.
