Hi folks!
I'm turning to strangers on the internet for guidance because why not? So currently I'm enrolled in a B.A. program for Design and Technology with a concentration in Lighting. I also have two professional jobs currently working as an electrician/ stagehand for both.
My question is, I already have these professional jobs, and they pay well, and I suck at school, I have an awful time doing anything that isn't related to theatre/ electricity. Would it negatively affect me for the rest of my life if I left school and continued working these jobs full time for a few years? I want to go on tour eventually to pay back my student loans, I don't really want to do much theatre anymore, I enjoy doing dance and concerts a lot more. And I don't think grad school is really on the table for me since I'm having such a terrible time with undergrad. I also really enjoy electrician work so I wouldn't mind doing that for a long time.
