<p>I certainly agree that you don’t want to take out big loans right now when it seems like you are not ready for college yet, but on the other hand if you leave you might never come back. This might particularly be true if you get married, have kids, and then have to work at that mill overtime to support them. I %^&*'ed around in college for the first two and a half years and came within one teacher’s mercy of failing out, but then pulled it around, graduated, got an engineering job, and have done fine - though I did suffer from the engineering knowledge I missed out on. So, I’m glad I stuck it out. But…I graduated without loans.</p>
<p>Maybe you should join the military and hope no new conflicts start!</p>
