i totally feel the same way. not to your level but the past weeks watchtowers have made me think hard about my decision to even go to college. its not even going away or anything but the articles about humility and accepting a job, not being picky and just providing was really thought provoking. like should i really be going to school?

but its weird too b/c i have the example of my dad. wonderful person. love him to death. cant say enough about how great he is. and he never hid from us that he never went to college. and he did really well for himself. provided for all of us since we were born and everything. but in talking to him he is saying how he's hit a plateau. how he keeps getting promoted but he has a prejudiced boss that wont raise his salary simply cuz he's not in the boyz club of someone who went to college. baffling to me. but when i get to be that much older do i really wanna be in the same position as him? i mean hopefully by then i'll be married and wont have to be so dependent on my own income but there's the other thought well if i'm not going to continue in a career of the field i choose after i get married, what right do i have in going to school? doesnt totally apply to me cuz i dont plan on getting married for a while so being able to support myself well is a big issue for me. just trying to support myself going to college is so hard now but i work so much so that later on i wont have to.

putting your spiritual thoughts first is soo commendable. i know you've already set such a positive example by changing congregations that other little steps you make along the way to keep you there, jehovah will bless you. maybe you could slow down on the frequency of classes but just gradually get it done. i mean after so much prayer that i know you've given it: you'll make the right choice. :)
