I'm at the point of my life right now where I feel like the decision I'm going make this upcoming fall will really determine what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I'm 19, and I have attended of the U of A for 2 years now (1 year of Arts and 1 year of Business - Accounting). I absolutely hate it, and the reason why I have the mind set of dropping out. My GPA has dropped to 3.4 to 2.7.... Yeah, I know dropping out of University is considered to be a dumb move by many but I seriously have no motivation in continuing my studies in Accounting.

I'm considering looking at the EMS field for a bit but I'm hesitant since I have spent so much money and time in credits at the U of A and would feel it would be a complete waste. In addition, if I were to get far into the EMS field, I would think I would be not have the motivation in going back to University. If I were to stick with University, I'm looking at the alternative majoring into nursing.... however, since my grades have dropped significantly, I feel I will struggle getting into the program, therefore AGAIN, spending MORE money and time into courses to raise my GPA. I'm lost, I hate the feeling and need some kind of guidance. I feel I have failed myself.

I have not told anyone about my future plans... as I fear the reaction. Since there are a lot of older, mature and wise people on this forum, any advice and words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
