True or false: College isn't for everyone?

I'm having financial aid troubles and I did my financial aid for last fall and spring. My classes hey dropping for nonpayment. I don't have the money to pay off for my classes and I don't wanna take a break from school because then it will take me longer to graduate. My friends said either get better grades or don't go to school and waste financial aids time because I'm wasting my time and financial aids time and there's jobs that don't require college. Just quite if I can't pass classes they told me. My friend said very brutally, "I don't wanna sound rude but do you really wanna be 30 and still in college? Why bother? Stop watsting financial aids time on degree you're not even going to get. You're not working hard enough and you're wasting your time." College has always been my dream but I guess my dream has to stop since I can't pass the tough classes. I tried so hard! I did but I end up failing. Should so quit college? Are my friends right? Or do a payment plan?

Maybe you just need a break? Take a few months off and get a job. Then go back to college.
@goagainsttheflow But I'll be 29 when I do the fall 2018 semester. Great I'll end up being 30 and graduating!

@AspieWoman89 That's not a bad thing. I don't know who made that up but you really shouldn't listen to them.
@goagainsttheflow I know but most people graduate in their early to mid 20s. Im late

College isn't for everyone. Unfortunately, HR departments are predominantly staffed by college grads who adhere to the "college is essential" criterion that was implanted during their post secondary indoctrination.
@VeronicaPrincess I can't stop college! I have to keep going

@AspieWoman89 It's not for everyone, but that doesn't mean it's not for you - that determination is yours alone! I wish you the very best in your efforts to graduate! 🤗
@VeronicaPrincess Thanks. I don't give up easily.

Can you get advice on how you're doing from a tutor or guidance person rather than "friends" making negative comments?
