Thanks everyone :)
I'm doing a theatre course. It's more vocational, so it looks at other routes as well as acting, and it's the only one I know of in the country that offers this course with so many industry links. I want to go into theatre in education so ideally the long-term goal was to set up my own business, delivering educational theatre to primary and secondary schools as there's a lot of money in it, but also a lot of initial outlay in terms of time and money, and having the contacts is essential.
I feel like I could still do it even if I didn't finish my degree; what I'd do in the meantime is try and do an apprenticeship - a lot of local nurseries offer it, with the chance to train while you learn, and there's a chance I could make the contacts there, and there's always business start-up grants for when I'm older and a bit more ready to run my own business.
I think at the minute it's a head vs heart thing, my head is saying dropping out is the right thing to do my heart feels like I've just wasted the last two years as well as all my A-Levels if I do drop out. It's a decision I can make only after I've spoken to my lecturers, I'm going to try and arrange a meeting with them to discuss what can be done. There's the option of me studying my third year part time, which would give me the opportunity to also work part time and get a bit more money in which would help, it'd be tough but at least I'd be able to finish my course. The long term feels doable, it's the short term we're really struggling with. OH is being brilliant, he knows I feel gutted about the thought of him not seeing his baby properly for two weeks, but he says it's two weeks out of the rest of his/her life and if it means he can get somewhere sorted, he'll do it. It means he can stay in the place we've got at the moment even when the baby's born and I go and stay with my parents.
