the military could also help w/ the paying for college thing. some people can take a full load and work full time, it all depends on the school and the person. If that's something that you're sure wont work for you, then the military is a very viable option. otherwise, there's always federal grants/loans.

I went to Salt Lake Community College and took 30 credit hours one semester while working part time. If you can't do well there, maybe college isn't for you?

There's always ROTC at the University of Utah here.

Well that's encouraging. Hopefully the fall will do ok then.

you just lack discipline. You dont need to join the military to learn discipline, but its not a bad idea. Start working out, or learn an instrument, do something self-improving and get yourself on a mindset that you MUST study to pass each and every class, some people dont need to study, but i swear there are alot of people that drop out of CC because they were told "ahhh i didnt buy the book, why should you"
