I don't know why people villainize manual labor. It's what you were made to do.
You sound like an idiot.
OP: didn't read pages 3-4, but you mentioned going to see a psychologist/counselor. Good idea. They can be very helpful and talk to people daily in YOUR EXACT SITUATION. Life sucks now, and it will suck some later, but there will also be good times. The worst thing you can do is regret later what you choose now, so think about having a conversation with your "future self" before dropping out of school. It's sort of like in racing, when you want to quit, but don't want to have to sit at home later thinking "if only I'd pushed for another minute, I could have stayed with the pack on the climb". That feeling sucks.
