what are some OTHER games about university dropouts? i need a game that will make me feel seen and like i'm not alone. honestly nobody drops out of universities these days, i'm the only person that ever did that, and for a retarded reason too (i was so lost and depressed and my major felt pointless)

I got government-sponsored tuition, got kicked out (and did nothing to prevent it), did my time in the army, and got admitted to the same uni again because my state exams results were still eligible

Beholder, your son getting expelled is part of the major plot line in the game

>>750123416
I was like 90% through with my degree and just stopped going. That was 11 years ago.

Yep
The most useful part of my degree was the extra time I got to slack off at my parents' house with a clear conscience
>>
>>750125119
What major? Default city 1 or 2?
>>
>>750124737
I've never really felt bad about dropping out, no. I barely had any positive experiences there, no friends, no insightful professors, nothing. And the uni itself is B-tier in my country, so the degree itself isn't worth much.
>>
>>750125205
Same, it wasn't positive for me either, it was torture. But my university had a name to it (not like tier 1, but confidently tier 2). Piece of paper alone could probably give me some merit... alas.
>>
>>750123416
Can't recall a single one, maybe that kind of character is rare because pretty much nobody drops out like you said.

It gets you past the early HR filters at least which is a (needed) start.

the fact of the matter is that I barely know what the hell I'm doing in this class, and the knowledge that the field might dissolve in ~5/10 years because of AI. I was thinking I might become an electrician.

YIIK, I think? At least, the Protag is a 20-something burnout moving back in with his parents. Probably similar vibes. Apparently it got a major update a couple years ago that fixes its most glaring issues, but I havent played it yet.

The first time I encountered this game was the November of 2022. I rode the train home for Thanksgiving break and would watch a no commentary playthrough while laying in bed at night. Eventually I bought it. I empathize with Mae alot since It was my junior year, I changed my major after the first year, and worked at the college's store. It forever has a place in my heart during the autumn and winter seasons.

Now I work a great office job.

He wasn't a drop out, but took five years to get a liberal arts degree. His mom chastised him about how much it strained the budget she had for him and his sister's tuition.

>>750129479
You ended up on good side of history. I never completed my degree and ended up on the wrong side of history. I'm suffering every day. Please, help me.

What was your degree. I initially went for computer science, but changed it to English after realizing I'm out of my depth.

History. I wish I chose English, I probably would have finished. Is it too late to do English degree at 30+ years old? I'm not sure it's possible to do so much reading at my age.

oh yeah i forgot, deserved

>>750132927
Dude, there was someone old enough to be a grandpa in my poetry course. The age for college is never the problem. The money and connections is what you should be more concerned about. Before landing my office job I worked at the dmv part-time. It took me interacting with my neighbor before being at where I am now.
>>
>>750133206
Is English degree just a general degree that allows you to do whatever and proves you can write and read?
By money being the problem you mean being able to attend at all?
>>
>>750133810
It has a concentration for creative writing, but the degree can align with office work.
>By money being the problem you mean being able to attend at all?
Correct. I had financial aid.
>>
>>750134041
So what other jobs did you have in mind? I was overthinking so fucking much when I applied. If I chose English from the get go my life would be much happier and better. Cam you work at DMV without a degree?
>>
>>750135567
If you have a degree, then looking for an entry level government job could would be ideal. You would still need to gather connections and a decent job list. Also you certainly don't need a degree for working at the DMV. Be aware that you would be dealing with the dredge of society.
>>
>>750136086
The slight problem is that I hate my government. It's one of the reasons I refused more traditional degrees in the first place.
>>
If I dropped out and tuition wasn't free i'd kill myself.
>>
>>750136210
The good thing about that is that you're on the ground floor to be making changes in the government in 20-40 years. Long march, Anon.

>>750129479
Kindred spirit. I played it right at the end of the fall semester of my college senior year. I relate heavily to Bea's story of having to put your life aside for family and becoming isolated because of it. The game holds a special place in my heart and I just did a replay of it.
>>
>>750139991
I live in the worst country of Earth, Russia. Idk man. I get the spirit, but it's just very demoralizing. I wish I could find passion for it.
>>
>>750141771
Oh. I assumed you were a westerner. In your case that might not be doable without being involved in organized crime.
>>
>>750141871
Yeah. Imagine being a social sciences and humanities guy in a country that has no social sciences and no humanities. You have to be very motivated and very strong mentally, which I'm not. All my peers who chose accounting or something and never really thought about reality at all and were only in it for the money fared way better. I wish I could choose it too. I'm suffering all the time. And I don't even have a mandatory degree, so I'm instantly clocked as subhuman.
>>
>>750123416
Isn't this the game where they killed one of the developers?

My grades weren't high enough to get into college
