Please don't beat yourself up over not finishing college. It's ok to take breaks. I dropped out 10 years ago and haven't finished my degree yet. I'm hoping to within the next couple of years. But it's ok to not finish yet.

Sometimes college isn’t the answer. Some people flourish in the trades. They definitely have a demand and are a lot of hands on instead of boring class work.

I understand. I had to drop out of college because of mental health and I haven't been back. It's really hard because people put such an emphasis on schooling. But for some people it's not a reality they can survive or flourish in. I also struggle with depression because of both being in school and being out of school. I put so much on my worth on how well I could do in school that dropping out really had an impact on me. It's okay to be struggling with something like that.
