So at the moment im doing a computer science degree. I fucking hate every moment of it, what do you think i should do? should i just say fuck it and spend the next 2 and a half years hating every moment of my life just to get a fancy piece of paper or drop out and find something that i might enjoy doing. Sure my family will hate me and people will label me a failure but if that's what it takes to make me happy again then i will do it. Fuck anyone who says otherwise

I work at a grocery store at the moment and after some thought i may as well stick with it. at the end of the day its only 2 years compared to having to work at a grocery store for the rest of my life which would suck as much as spending a life time at uni.
uni vs grocery store; definitely uni
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

I can agree with this
It really depends on how you see yourself 5 years from now, being happy does not require a lot of money, but if you want a lot of money and will not be happy without it, it's better to get a degree. If you don't want to stay in retail or go to uni, it's time for a bottle of Jack and some deep thought.

Think about it this way: you have to do something. It doesn't matter what it is. Either you're working at a grocery store or you're in school or you're doing something else. You have to be doing something, and most of your life that something is going to be working.
Sure, you could stop now and take a break, but what's the point? If you're in school at the very least you're working toward something that'll help you get a better job and make more money. Working at a grocery store gets you nowhere.
Finish up your degree, then take some time off to figure out if you want to do something else. Having a degree is better than not having one. If nothing else you'll have learned about yourself and gotten an education. You may not use your degree directly but even having a degree often makes it easier to get a decent job.
You don't really lose anything by getting the degree. Working at the grocery store full time for 2 years isn't going to get you anywhere. Finish your degree.
