I'm already burnt out

[LevelUP]

I've only been enrolled 4 months and I'm already burnt out. I've done 18 CU's and am currently working on another 3 CU's.  If I finish in 2 weeks, I could probably do another 3-4 CU course. It's hard to imagine keeping this up for another 2 years. I'm in Software Engineering (Java) but I don't plan to ever be a Java programmer, so that is demotivating me. Maybe I will switch to Cloud (AWS), or something I wouldn't mind doing. I'm not really sure what I want to do. I seem to go about 2x speed compared to a regular B&M college person, though that is slow for people here. I am just really slow to memorize things. Cloud and AI interest me. Cloud would be useful if I end up freelancing in the future, instead of getting another day job. I have a medical problem that seems to be getting worse that might force me to work from home the last decade of my career. Or just be self-employed.  It's hard to imagine working in an office again if I periodically need to go to a hospital. I lasted less than year when I first went to a B&M college 40 years ago, though I had a cool roommate who went on to be successful doctor.  I was going to go visit him because I heard he had retired, but then heard he was diagnosed and died of cancer within 6 months. That was a shock. It made me wonder if there was anything else I should be doing right now.

The number #1 reason why people drop out of WGU is because they don't transfer enough credits in and get overwhelmed by the amount of work they have to do.

If you followed the degree plan, you would have had 9 courses left to do plus the capstone.

It's free to do certs at WGU but I would suggest doing them before enrolling to get experience and get them out of the way.

How many courses do you have left to do and how long is it taking you to complete technology related courses?
