Thinking to quit now in college

The new year will here in just a few weeks. However, as the year 2023Β draws closer, I feel more and more under pressure. By the start of the following semester, full in-person classes will be offered at all college levels across the nation in place of the current online learning model. For me, this merely means that my expenses will go up too much and that I'll waste time on the journey to school wishing I had been able to do something else. It affects my finances only to pay for my son's transportation, let alone when I factor in my own trip and school costs. I'm trying to figure out how to budget if I'm always on the go and have no time for my side businesses.
Just to let you know, I am 100 percent a "Raketera parent." I'm glad that I can support my son while I'm still in school, and I don't demand anything else from other people except myself. Simply put, I'm happy that I discovered life early on. I am quite proud of myself for starting college and being able to support myself.
I am now really concerned about the upcoming year, though. If I ever go to school, I'll have less time for side hustles. That implies that my passive income sources will also generate less money. Since I am already in the second semester of my third year, I have also increased my stress level and pressure. (β_β)οΌ
I've only begun to compile my what-if scenarios.
First, what if I simply quit studying for the upcoming year and resume the implementation? I don't think everyone should take the entire in-person course. We may complete it online because my course is in human resources. We are not like other courses where practicing in the lab is actually required.
Searching for work is yet another what-if. Because I'm beginning to believe that perseverance really is the key to success rather than intelligence. In terms of practicalities, I believe some would advise me to look for work. However, there are times when I feel as though another year would be squandered if I stopped studying. If I carefully consider it, even if I complete my degree in this location, the income will still be low because there are salary ranges for individuals who have graduated from college. What I'm trying to convey is that, as far as our society is concerned, it is ultimately up to the individual to determine which course to take.
I'm now thinking terribly about these two possibilities. Although I believe that CHED's statement about the implementation of full face-to-face instruction won't change, I am still holding out hope that they will at least take students in remote locations and working students who obediently attend class while they are working into account. Above all, we students have the ability to select the method of instruction that we like. What is the rationale behind the removal of blended learning, then?
For me? I agree sa sinabi ni Ate Jane na "perseverance over intelligence." But still, we can use these two naman at the same time. Dagdag pressure & pagod pero kung kaya naman, edi push. Ang akin kasi, pwede naman rumaket & at the same time, mag-aral. Lalo na at 'di at all times ay may magpapa-aral sa'ten or kaya natin na pag-aralin ang sarili natin. So habang may opportunity and resources, push lang nang push.
Me? Yes, that's true. Upon attending F2F classes, it lessen my time to do my side hustles. But since, I am eager to be progressive? Sige lang. Mas galingang na lang to manage the time well, practice multitasking & avoid procrastinating. π
But I know naman na you weigh your decisions so much, Ate Hai. Ikaw pa ba ~ wink wink
