I really need some advice

[davidlpf]

About 5 years ago I left university without finishing my degree in astronomy and physics. I was not doing well academically at the time but I beleif this had to do with having to do with some people who bound to make my life as hard as possible ( I believe one of them called my house soon after I left). I have done some examples out of old textbooks I have and I find easier now then before. The thing is I do not whether to go back and finish at least a general B.sc or what to do? I have contacted an old friend and said to at least try for a general B. sc and trying to get an answer get access to old marks to figure things out the moment. would it be worth it to further in debt?

I would consider it. I was in physics/astronomy, but decided that it wasn't for me. I'm now delving into a CS degree (since I've been working with computers for nearly six years now). If you think that you are better able to handle the workload, and that physics is something that you really enjoy, I'd say go for it!

I can't give specific advice but can say that I started as a masters student of electrical engineering which I for various reasons didn't finish.
I tried doing a maths BSc by distance learning (UK Open University) which was really great while it worked, though I had to stop for monetary reasons(subsidies for UK students that aren't there fore anyone else).

I would say you should try to find any way you can that will allow you to keep studying as much as you can within your echonomic range.1

If you can get grades for classes from your old studies transferred it's great, but try to make a serious evaluation whether some of then are outdated and if so, take them again even if you don't have to. That will look very good when you go to the job interview.

1) At the risk of sounding preachy, this should be the way of life for everyone.

Here in Oz many have warmed to the concept of "lifelong leaarning". Its not something you only do early in life. but you continue to learn and upgrade your knowledge and skills throughout your life.
