Considering leaving university?

with one comment

I am currently taking a BSC International Business, Finance and Economics course at University, well into my second year, after completing a Business Diploma at College where I achieved a DDM (the equivalent of AAC at A-Level).

However, I am really not enjoying the course. Deep down, I think I have picked the wrong course for me. The trouble is, i’ve already put a lot of money into it and it’ll seem stupid of me to drop out now. My grades are hovering between a 2:2 and Third on average, and I am finding it difficult and often feel quite scattered with it all.

I think I want to go into Accountancy, would it be possible to get a decent job within that field without a degree?

Has anyone been in a similiar predicament? What actions did you take? Surely dropping out isn’t the end of the world? Maybe I could transfer course going into my final year to see if I can achieve a higher degree? Presuming your final year are the results that really matter?

Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

Am i going to study in Manchester University ?

I took a gap year to improve my grades by doing a couple of exams (external student), i did this as i changed my mind of doing law! so i applied through UCAS again and i have conditional offers from:

firm choice – Manchester university – BA international business, finance, and economics – AAB

insurance choice – Nottingham University – BA Finance, accounting, and management – ABB

Manchester uni is definitely my 1st choice, its the only place i want to go to! now am just wondering what happens if i actually get ABB, am i going to be able to beg my way into the degree? its my first choice and, yeah, just need help in sorting out my hell when August comes! i don't know how the exams went but am so scared!
and what should i be doing now in this long summer? feel lost and clueless on what i should do with my future!
if theres any students who's doing the same course, do you know anyone who actually did study in manchester in the end?

thanks!

I am fascinated by European culture and history and am hoping to persue a major that will help transfer me permanently overseas, especially to the UK, where I hope to live. Currently, I'm a freshman at an American college, aiming for International Business/finance/economics ,but am looking for more choices. Thank you.
Unfortunately, I am not interested in the field of medicine, and am not such a science-oriented person. I am very proficient in math. As far as languages go, I also speak fluent Russian, Hebrew, and will begin learning German this upcoming semester.
