How To Navigate The End Of One Job And The Start Of Grad School

I don't like school but im a straight a student.?

So I am an honor student with straight A's. I have potential to be extremely successful but I hate school. I don't enjoy work. In fact, I would be a happy camper if I was hand fed and turned fat and never had to move again. My Mom is pushing me into college and I haven't finished High school. I have enough high school credits to graduate and I have college credits.

Here's my question: Should I drop out? I don't plan on staying an A student due to my lazy ***. I just have no interest in school, work, a career, or life.

Can anyone tell me more about the Navy OCS ?

Officer Candidate School or Officer Cadet School (OCS) are institutions which train civilians and enlisted personnel in order for them to gain a commission as officers in the armed forces of a country.

The Officer Candidate School of the United States Navy is at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island.

The Naval Station Newport (NAVSTA Newport) is a United States Navy base located in the towns of Newport and Middletown, Rhode Island. NS Newport is home to the Naval War College.

The United States Naval Academy (also known as USNA, Annapolis or, for athletic events, "Navy") is an undergraduate college in Annapolis, Maryland for the education of Officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

Academic Training:
Despite what some Drill Instructors would have you believe, academics are by far the most important aspect of OCS.

Eight academic subjects are taught at OCS which include Damage Control, Engineering, Military Law, Naval History, Naval Warfare, Navigation, Personnel Administration, and Seamanship.

Classes are designed for both stress and knowledge; therefore, they are extremely fast paced and require a lot of memorization and word recognition.

Examinations for each subject are multiple choice; though one Navigation Exam requires the use of a navigational chart and dividers. Candidates must pass each exam with a minimum score of 80%.

Failure to pass 1 Academic Exam will place the candidate "on the bubble" (on probation); failure to pass another will be grounds for rolling the candidate back to another OCS Class.

Liberty is based on the progress of the individual, the team or class, and The Drill Instructor!

Co-ed depends on the sex of the number of candidates.

I am ready to quit my miserable job?

i've been at a job i'm miserable at for 2 1/2 years. it's equivalent to working to a sweat shop because you work many hours and not getting paid what you're worth and it's quota based. I am a recent college graduate with adequate experience but when I tried to apply for open positions within the company, I don't get a response or the boss would thwart my efforts. I felt stuck!
It frustrates me so much because I'd get depressed and sad. It's also difficult to job search because by the time I get off work, I'm too tired or I failed at the job interviews. I have decided to put money to the side to make this easier for me, because I plan to leave by the end of this month.

Am I doing the right thing?
