Have You Ever Paid For A Course Then Quit?

wolfie.. if it isn't for you and you have made up your mind, and I believe you HAVE, then is there any hope you will like it next time you should be there?

I don't think so. You made your mind up already. Let it go then.. There must be a better way to find a decent course that will help you meet your goals.. Obviously you are losing money and your mistake is costing you.

Would I quit?? That is very individual. I have taken a ton of course in my time and at least 'tolerated' them all, and even loved some of them.. The rest were okej and beneficial to me to reach goals...

HOWEVER,, I was once in a course that I had to actually compete to get into because of the number of applicants. We therefore ALL had to complete a written aptitude and IQ test while we were crowded into 3 rooms and of the 110 people who applied for that course, only 35 were chosen.. yeah .. so what,,I was one of them.. BUT..I couldn't stand the people in my class.. talky, show off, better than thou attitudes, and no manners, and well, I ended up after 3 weeks pardoning my self from class. I thought I would rather be with normal adults than with those who think they are better than others..

So you are not alone.. one learns from such experiences, wolfie, doesn't one?

If you hate the course as much as you seem to then just quit and put it down to experience.
I have never quit any course I signed up for but that is because I'm stubborn and because I hate wasting money.
I did take a Game Boy along to one course because it was mind numbingly boring and I seemed to be the only one who didn't need everything repeating at least three times. I spent most of the time playing and still got the certificate at the end.
Take care.

If I don't like it, I don't go, that's it, that's all. Life is too short to be stuck doing unhappy things. So let's all move on...next project! PMSL Your Sis who loves you muahhh!!!

i did when i was young and foolish. i took a semester of nursing and found out i hated it! i loved the biology part of it but not the practical. i got some of my money back which was good.

I have looked at a few courses available, thinking I'd like to complete some sort of computer course. I've looked at a run-down of the lessons and decided that fewer than half of them would interest me so I've given up on the idea.

Wolfie I can understand how a subject can interest you, but the way it is presented leave you cold. Whether or not to continue is an individual decision, and is up to you and you alone, but since you have asked, in YOUR case I would say it is wiser to quit. You do not need hassles such as you have described. In fact, continuing with the course could aggravate the tensions you have and make things worse - so quit.

I'm too cheap to quit, that's the truth...

If you really have no interests in such a course, just quit it without any hesitation.
Sometimes, when we have some chances, most people may imagine to learn something new to enrich our lives, and go to college as a mature student does help us learn new things. But such beautiful sceneries are often just what we have in mind. When we have spent some money on it, we may get interests in it, then it is obvious that then we will choose to quit it.
In my eyes, these are all impulsive actions. If we can keep calm all the time, we won't pay for a course and then quit.

Hey my dearest brother! Of course I would do exactly what you
are doing! I don't give a damn what I paid for the class! If
I really don't like it and it's not for me and I'm going to
be totally miserable and get nothing out of it then what's the
point? You tried it, you didn't like it so what else is there
to do? I have no problem quitting stuff I don't like and since
you ARE MY BROTHER what else would you expect me to say to you?
You at least TRIED IT!!! You get an "A" in my book just for
trying! They get to keep YOUR MONEY so what the phuck! I am very
proud of you for taking the risk because I know how difficult
that was for you so don't beat yourself up about it and just
be happy that you tried something else new! Yeah Wolfie! I still
love you! Your loving sis, Opal

Hi Wolfie,

I have completed many courses over the years and stuck all of them out except one. It was a course that relied heavily on a lot of maths work. Numbers was never my strong point so I realised it was not for me so I quit it.

You are right if it is something you are not enjoying and fine boring best thing is to give it a miss.

all along, my interest has been in Hotel Management courses, but my dad wants me to go into business and computer studies. I took up a part time diploma courses in business, but was really bad in it...as i'm not really a good friend of accounting. i dropped out. then computer studies, programming is not my friend either. LOL! i ended up going into sales industry and that's the best industry ever. as people say, the rest is history...
