I just got my college exams results and they were really bad.

It was my forth and final year of computer science, but the coarse is broken into stages.

After two years recieve a certificate, after 3 years a lower degree which is the equivalent of a college diploma and then after 4 years recieve a higher degree.

I also have the CCNA and experience working abroad in IT.

It's just that with so many exams failed including the final year project, I just know if I'd be able to pass it in the repeats at the end of August.

Part of me is thinking that maybe I should just take the lower degree and get a job as I've already had interviews and applications out and just work for awhile.

Maybe then when I have more experience I could come back and finish the course or transfer to something else in a particular field like multimedia.

I had problems with panic attacks in the past but have gotten and still getting treatment for it, but with all the shock and confusion and feelings of panic and depression, it's difficult to think straight.

So please any help or advice for this situation would be great.

Thanks and God bless.

Get the higher degree. That degree will help you in the long run and you will be less likely to continue with school if you get a job. Many people are not comfortable going back to school after they have worked a while. In the long run, you will be better off.

If you think you should, get the lower degree and take a break from school. And after working some, you might want to get the higher degree. But I don't think it could hurt to take a break.
Although since you are so close to finishing it would probably be convienient for you to finish your degree. If it was me, I'd probably want to finish the degree soon if I was so far along. But posibly take an extra semester to finish it, so stress is lessened.
Pray about it. I'll pray for you too. :)
