Well Nathan, I know exactly how you feel. But if I may, let me be a
little open for a minute. I'm 56, and don't have a four year degree. I
completed HS, then went to college (Electronics major), I  completed one
semester, dropped out and joined the US Air Force. Got into an electronics 
field in the AF. Got a fair electronics education in the AF. Got out of 
the AF after 12 years. Got a job in an electronics field. And I am still 
employed by that employer in the same type of field. After I got out of 
the AF I attended college as much as I could, but never got a bachelors
degree. To this day I regret not completing college the first time.
You've got plenty of time to get a good job,  AFTER you complete
school. Hang in there, don't give up. You WON'T regret it.
