If u had spnt the past 4 yrs doing a uni course that you hate and had 6 wks of unpaid work to go would u do it

Question

i have been studying a course at uni which i am so totally over i hate it. I have 6 weeks of unpaid work to go to finish it- i have no intention of working in this field EVER. I have kids i have to pay childcare for and cant work paid work for these 6 weeks because its rostered (morning/evening/night duties). I already have to pay the HECS etc for it. i have had maj depression this past year and feel so stressed even just thinking about work/study. if i pull out now i fail the whole course but it makes me ill to think about it. What would you do? there is no higher pay assoc with the course qualifications either.

Answer 1

You have invested a certain amount of time so far, might as well see it through. Sometimes it is more important just to be the guy who finishes on principal. I would hire someone who perserveres on principal even if they didn't have all the requirements.
