My suggestion is to :

1. Follow the obvious path. Don't worry about "wasted" time/effort/money, for all you know, its those 2 years that made you realize you want to be a EMT (or whatever you want to do)

2. Stay optimistic. You can have goals other than university, and not hate the coarses you have now. Stay positive, try your best, and if the obvious path is for you to do something other than what you are studying, so be it.

3. Look for opportunities in what you hate doing now, you never know, alot of what you could be learning in those classes you hate could be transferable and useful for something you want to do, and those classes might be more interesting/useful if you stay positive about it. A lot of times, its your own biases and attitudes that make you good at something or makes something interesting, not the material itself. Just make the best out of any and all opportunities you come across with. You never know.

Keep your head up, stay level headed, try your best, but follow the obvious path that you are on and don't feel obligated to stay in university because of parents, marks, money, et al.

(For me, I'm mid-20's, UofA alumni and went to graduate school on a whim for a field I knew almost nothing about, and certainly not where I thought I'd be 1 month before I finished my undergrad, but I tried to keep my mind open to all opportunities and I like the position I'm in now career wise.)
