Tru-
Life can be a real drag sometimes!!! Before you drop out of this school, make sure you can get a refund on whatever classes you have begun. If you can't get a refund and the classes will be considered generaly education, perhaps think about sucking it up the rest of this semester and then start fresh at a place that allows you to really get your degree in the field you desire.
Sometimes I think the major milestones in life, like entering a new decade, cause us to evaluate things. The rest of your plan to save money toward your own house sounds good. You can never start saving too early.
Is working at some kind of CSI lab an option for you now, without a degree? Say, in an entry level position doing anything to get a foot in the door. Then you will have an idea of what this kind of job is like to further your decision process. Whatever you decide, be true to yourself.
I went to college as an adult, married with young children and having a fulltime job. I started and stopped, then went back again. All together, it took me around 7 years (I got my Associates first, then an accelerated program for my Bachelors) to finish. It was lots of hard work and I had no free time between class, assignments and family. The degree did allow me to get a new job a couple years later at more $, but that job didn't last and I really hated what I was doing anyway. Now that I am teaching Pilates and Yoga, my degree means nothing - BUT I learned a lot along the way and I don't regret having done it.
Good luck to you!
