Electronics Engineering. I will be graduating in November with my Associates. Then, I will go on to get my Bachelors in that, and an Associate in Programming.
I'm not sure yet. My reasoning for "taking a break" (NOT dropping out) was that I wanted to get out of my parents house and work full-time. Well, I've succeeded in that, now all I have to do is re-apply. Actually now that I think about it, I want to go back next semester. Although, I can't be a full-time student because I'm already working full-time. I'll probably just take a couple classes a week after I get off work. Working a 9-5 sometimes complicates things.
Psyc is so much fun! I minored in it for a sem. I think everyone should look into it even if they don't want to major or minor in it. You'll find out a lot about yourself.

From what I've figured up, if I go all 3 semesters in a year, taking 3 classes per semester, I can get my associates in 2 years. That's pretty doable working full time, so that's what I'm going to do.
If you've been living on your own and paying your own bills for a year then you are classified as independent (you better have receipts). If you have all the receipts to prove your independence then you could very well get your school paid for if you're not making that much money. At least no interest loans and so forth.
I'd really go back asap if I were you, but waiting for yourself to be considered an independent saves you a lot of cash in the short term, but every year you wait you're probably losing 20k+ of potential salary per year. So the smartest thing is probably just to get your year done and get cheap/free schooling and then go out and make big bucks.

Factor in as well that tuition costs go up every year and it's pretty smart to just get it over with now.
