    Quit your job, drop out of school and play WoW instead?

    You can casually raid a couple short nights per week, and if you are skilled, you will clear that content eventually.
    Or you can bang your head on it every night for 5 hours straight and eventually you will clear it even with crap for skills.

    You're doing it right.

    The only thing I'd say don't do, is add WoW into that equation. WoW, despite my love for it, is a time sink. You don't need it. Spend leisure with the GF/friends, not on WoW.

    School + work = doing it right.

    Advancing your life and Career is better then advancing in a Online social Community, Im at the same cross rd as you are, Im 20 and im working on my career working 40-60 hours a week and also going to School 20 hours a week, I play wow when i get the chance, becouse its better on my pocket then going out, Also with my career i can normaly Do things people my age would do, and I some what regreat it, But in the long run Doing my job and going to school is going to get futher then playing on wow / online social comunity.

    I understand the need of an income but I wouldn't recommend holding a job while going to school. One will interfere with the other.

    Why can't we just admit it? We won't stop until the blood is flowing.

    That would be a hell of a workout for anyone, lol. Don't see why not, and hey it promotes a sense of supranationalism :P
    Take a break from politics once in awhile, it's good for you.

    Hey, at least you're not dying from starvation, or say, on the verge of losing your house.

    Id advice you to continue on with your life. Wow is a game in witch you should be having fun but its not the only game. Its a game that requires time in order to enjoy it. After some years you wont even think of wow since there will be some other massive game out. Games can be addictive unless you realise that they are just some purple pixels and nothing more.

    I've been there brother. In all honesty if you want to play WoW just level characters and stay away from endgame. The main reason I fell out of WoW is because after working my way to Grand Marshal when I was Alliance, leading a guild, and building a best-in-slot in PvP/PvE Ret Paladin every season except season 7 and ToC, the only thing I could get from it all was lessons learned about hard work and humility. After some point I started to realize that alot of people in my guild were just...self-centered loot whores that thought they were awesome when in actuality they were burnouts that clung on to WoW as their last chance at some sort of meaningful success in life. In all the time spent playing WoW, it was when I was around humble people like myself that just wanted to push through content as a sort of 25 man family and those intense premades that tested my ability to lead a team that spurred me on. I was part of a fun community and I was learning things through my in-game actions.

    I'm going to cut myself off there, but to relate this to your dilemma...You go where you feel like you are advancing yourself as a person in your beliefs, your body, and your intellect. You'll know when you reason your way through your actions someday

    But it Shouldn't IT seem fine now, Trust me I totaly feel the same way you do but I fight that feeling, Wow makes you Happy now rite, But in 2-3 year when its shut down or what ever, wouldnt you rather have a well paying job and a Real Social life with intraction thats not through a key borad?
