Good luck, and don't make the mistake I did of not specifying EXACTLY, TO A TEE, what notes were for what subject and what section. It will save you entire hours of panic.

The only degrees they offer to actually be worthwhile are doctors and lawyers. Everything else, its just a worthless scrap of paper to trick some idiotic human resources manager into giving you the worst kinds of overworked and underpaid jobs imaginable. You can get a much better job by bringing a portfolio of what you've accomplished in your field, and skipping the frustration and debt of college.
My mother wasted money on college. Or rather she wasted the money she saved to get me into college on college.
Because she's obsessed with me being in school or getting a job ASAP even though I don't actually know what I want to do.
So now I'm in a program for a subject I don't really want to follow through with job-wise, because mom thinks that having something on my resume, no matter how arbitrary, will be better than me taking time to figure out what I want to do in life beforehand. Because I need a college degree to get anything above McDonalds, even if the degree is for something I probably don't want to do for a living.
Also, what field? I don't have a field. Also, it isn't worthless, as there are actual official non-college certifications offered...
Although they expire every three years, so it's still barely useful.
So yeah I'm stuck in a stressful environment against my will doing something I don't want to do and paying to do it all because Mom doesn't want me to sit around and "be lazy" for another year. Honestly, I'd probably end up doing exactly that though, because my anxiety and social ineptitude is too high to function properly in society. So maybe she's right for all but guilt-trip-forcing me into this. I don't f$$king know.
Computer networking, maintenance, hardware and circuitry... All stuff I'd be interested in learning. Not something I want to do for a living. Also not something I want to go to college for. Only reason I ended up with this was because my other options were all full or uninteresting to me, and due to this program being a one year certificate and/or two year credentials deal, I thought it'd be easier than the longer courses. Apparently, they just try to condense TOO DAMN MUCH material into TOO DAMN SHORT of a timeframe.
