One small reason I ultimately dropped out of college was that I was made to take a PE course that was essentially the same pointless exercise in humiliation from high school. Semester after semester, I took and dropped it. By my end, I had no respect for my own degree program
I was excluded from being certified for a thing which I am not certifiable for. I'm not suggesting it was a bad thing.

The thing is not perseverance, btw — if I had left because I needed to go take care of a sick family member, I would be equally uncertifiable and equally without a degree.

These two situations probably seem entirely different to you, but they have some features in common and they have the same result. I'm readily admitting that I don't have the right personality for what a degree certifies, and someone else might not have the right circumstances.
