If you are willing to drop your GPA in here, i could be of more help. Also, where are you currently working? I'm not gonna front like I have it all figured out...i don't....but i've got enough experience and advice to help you along the way.
I'm guessing you missed this part....

I suck in math. I couldn't pass the college algebra classes so they had the class called contemporary math and I passed 2 of those and they counted toward my degree and they were much easier.

Ya thats why i asked to see how much damage had been done. Truth be told, the GPA isnt the most damaging...its that my dude has no real goal to aim for.
Man I'm still trying figure out what kind of classes duke must have been taking to get an AA in general concentration....

I Just graduated from community college in December with an associates degree in General Concentration. I dont know what I should do now. I'm turning 25 later this month and I make $9.30 an hour and been at the same job for 6 years now.:snoop: Its not cutting it. I hate being broke and I live with my mom. I got to get my life together. I just don't what career I should get into. I don't know if I should go to a 4 year school. I just don't know what to major in. Any advice brehs? I like cars and I used to draw and people said I was good at it when I was younger. I wish I was just good at something that I could make money from or win the lottery.

I had this same conservation three hours, do you know what they said?

LOL its pretty easy, before i transferred from CC i actually qualified for an associate degree in science and a general degree ( i forgot what the exact name for it was) but most people qualify for it if they are transferring , you just got to apply for it , i went and got both of them just for the hell of it

you probably qualify for one if you check into it

like everyone else has said you gotta pick a direction and then go. "General concentration" is going to be a rough sale with damn near every job I can feasibly think of. The good news is you're 25 and in order to get an AA you had to get all the BS courses out of the way.

Step 1. Figure out wtf you wanna do. IF you don't really feel passionate about anything then go with what makes $$$ :manny: Tech jobs for instance, you could even do something like ITT Tech and get a networking degree or something, you'll end up making more than 10 bucks an hour.
AND FUKIN FOCUS. Invest 2 years into getting at least a 3.0. In most cases grades are a reflection of effort and not intellect.

Step 2. Get a 4 year degree. The two year at best is going to cap you out at about 40k a year, 50 if you find the right job and you bust ass, but you will eventually hit that ceiling.

Step 3. Don't give up. you're 2-4 years away from having a career. You'll look back at this thread and see the 9.30 an hour and laugh as you're banking 5-10x that amount, it'll be worth the 2-4 years of investing the time and effort into getting your shyt together.

Step 4. Don't get anyone pregnant. :ufdup:

OP based on what you said i would say your wasting your time. 4 year degrees aint for everybody.You should go to trade school and learn plumbing or something. Not clean work but they get paid very well. And if you get a professional license you can open your business and the sky is the limit.
