For what it's worth, I agree with you. I can relate to your situation, as I will soon have a meaningless degree in Political Science (WHAT can you do with that??) and it's incredibly disappointing thinking about the time I simply "put in" and the money I've wasted, when I could have been happy and content. So I appreciate that you've put your thoughts out there, made the best decision possible, and that you can move forward. I'm proud of you!

If you've learned all you can from this situation it's probably best to move on. The credits still stand and, if it is ever necessary, you can return to use them again, I'm sure. What matters is that we use the time we have to good work in the world. It certainly seems that you've gotten a lot out of your education so far. In the end, that's all that personally matters. Good luck with your advisor. It is a very hard decision to make but a degree is not necessary for happiness. If you’ve learned all you can from this situation it’s probably best to move on.
