I'm currently 24 about to turn 25 at the end of this month. Here lately I've been re-thinking a lot of things in my life. I have no kids. I have no girlfriend (which after what happen to me last time it's going to be awhile)I do have a decent job I'm over a department at a large electronic retail store. I'm currently living at home, which my dad and my step-mom are about to move out. I have a 2-year degree in computer engineering however the best job I was able to find was in the retail store. Now the past few months have been real emotional for me. First off my step-mom doesn't get along with us and this past may on mother's day weekend she pulled up some of my moms flowers and plants without asking us. Which lead to them deciding to move out. Then later on that month I made one of the biggest mistakes in my life. I started talking to a co-worker on-line and basically read my post here http://www.quarterlifecrisis.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23472
Another mistake I felt like I made in July was signing up to a online college for graphic design. When really in my heart for the past year I've wanted to become a chiropractor. However the college I was looking to attend was in GA and I live in NC. the two reasons I didn't pressure was first I had fear about moving there . And second I was involved with a co-worker at the time how I believed loved me and wanted to be with me. Fast forward 3 ½ months later i'm still in college for graphic design However I feel for the amount of money I'm spending I'm just not getting enough out of it. So for the past month I've been thinking about the college in GA. I'm thinking of canceling the current loan and taking out another to attend their college. So far I applied and I should know within the next week if I'm accepted. So I guess does it sound crazy to drop everything and start in another direction?

Why continue down a path you know you don't want to go down? Fear of change or the unknown isn't going to get you anywhere. Take calculated risks and don't be afraid to go after what you want. But I will stress that you should do your homework first.

If you want to go to school to be a chiropractor then why are you going for graphic design? Drop it as soon as you can. Take the monetary licks you have to take and don't make any more investment in something you don't want to do.

I would be sure to do some soul searching and be sure this is the move you want to make. But drop the classes if you know that you don't want that. It doesn't make any sense to keep investing in something you know you don't want to do.
