Started school part time (2 weeks in) while working full time. I feel like I'm in it just for the paper chase...?

Feeling very sian because i feel like i am not interested/ am not 读书的料. However quitting now will make me feel like i wasted my money. I feel like I am just paper chasing. Sigh.
Worried about my future. Currently earning 3.5k as a 28 yo. Progression is slow at work. (Healthcare). No one wants to hire diploma grads (according to job portals).

I think uni is a good platform to network, who knows they might introduce you opening for your next jump, or be your future business partners or buddy for life. If you halfway in already, just finish it lo. 不然白忙一场空, if dropout from Harvard nervermind lah.
