How do you keep yourself motivated to continue your studies?

I'm battling depression and sometimes it's just... too much. I end up procrastinating and getting frustrating then become more depressed. It's my last year in uni but I'm afraid I won't make it.

That question is so easy for me because I went through it. Here's my line for you: Would you rather suffer 5 years and profit 40 or the other way around?

Background:
I graduated high school, I graduated vocational college (no, that's not real college) and I went out into the world applying for jobs. You have no idea how much I was treated as pure dirt, as shit, as insignificant, as a hobo - by everyone, by the government; no one caring you exist, people offending your intelligence, everything.
So after that episode I decided: "That's it, that's enough, I won't be disrespected anymore", so I got and fought tremendously hard for a Bachelor's degree and I got it, I got my respect, my future guaranteed employability and my stability. I'll have you know that 85% of my class gave up eh, they gave up along the way and now they're working in factories, minimum wage.
Yeah love, that's not my lifestyle. I want some respect in my life.

I hope this helps!
