I'm more than halfway through college, but I was forced to drop out a few years ago because I simply could manage school and the hours I was forced to work in order to pay my bills (I get very little help from my parents). Now, I'm 24, and I feel if I don't go back soon, it could be to late. My mother has offered to let me move in with her, so I can cut down my hours and focus on school again. I really want my journalism degree, but at the same time I don't want to lose my apartment, my autonomy, or lose progress I have made at my work. I do want to be a professional writer, but I think that it may be possible without the degree. What do you guys think? How much does the degree help ensure being published? Can I do it without it? Is it worth losing my apartment and being broke for a year to get my degree? Is college in general worth it anymore in modern America?
