dissertation submission in 1 week, haven't even started working on the application. crazy how this is gonna be my first comment in here, strangely enough i'm not worried though; even being aware of the time i wasted and how the whole degree's gonna be a waste. weird. i decided on what to do next though. work a min wage job, and spend 2 weeks worth of it on rent and 1 week of it on food and the other 1 week on other bills. the plan is to keep doing it until the day i die
That does not sound sustainable or pleasant. You could most definitely get some sort of apprenticeship down the line and work a job with high demand and better career prospects.
One week is plenty of time to stay up late and crank out a half-assed dissertation that might even pass you.
Alternatively, if there's more needed than just a good essay and presentation, go talk to a guidance councilor or your prof or something. You've got time to save your degree that you've been working towards!
Or if you've truly used up all of the options at your educational institution you can always aim for a 2/4 year degree and transferring credits. Might have to take a handful of classes that don't transfer but its still a brilliant option. My 2 year degree would have cost me about 20k without the pell grant, (I ultimately only took 8k in student loans to help cover my lost income from reducing my hours while the pell grant covered all of the tuition and supply expenses) which given it literally got me making that much per year more immediately upon graduation is pretty damn good
