drop out? or not 2 drop out...., that is the question Options

Ok, so ive been at my school for around 7 or 8 weeks nows(give or take). Im going to centenial college, supposidly the best automotive school in Ontario. For the 6 or 7 weeks ive been at school, ive been bored off my ass. The main reason im there is to learn about paint and get out of there 2 go into the trade as a painter. But heres the kicker, about 3 weeks into the course, my original paint teacher had a heartattack(hez fine thank god), but the guy whos replacing him, is covering the same crap as my old one did and doesnt know a thing about teaching. So im bored as hell, and frankly feel like my money is being wasted. So im kinda at a point now where i gotta figure out what im gonna do. My next semester starts like, next week or so, and it goes untill around x-mas time. So im kinda at a standstill..i kinda wanna just drop out and head right into working. Like finding a job for me shouldnt be to hard, ive done 4 years of highschool shop thats pretty much as indepth as the stuff they do over at centenial college for general mechanical, and ive worked for a year at a tuner shop near by and have spent countless hours working on friends cars. Hell when i was 17 i rebuilt a B18, turboed it and swaped it into an EK civic. I built a 12 second K20A2 powered all motor EG civic drag car. But at the same time im thinking that if things pickup next semester, then ill stick around. But i dunno. What do you guys think??

Listen, we all run into semesters that just plain suck. For example: I am in a weekend Paralegal program and Frankly I’ve been doing great, I haven’t gotten anything lower then and A- and I pulled a GPA of 3.8 for my last semester. I’ve had some awesome teachers, and i got lucky in the courses I took so far, Intro to Law, Criminal Law, Family Law, and Legal Research and Writing. Right now I’m in Real Property and Civil Litigation. My Civil Lit teacher might be the WORST professor I have ever had, we had a quiz and the class average was around a 45%. We just had our mid-term and I got a 78. So yes, it SUCKS, I hate it, the only things I learned in that class is what I taught myself. Most of you that I talk to know that on sunday im on AIM in the computer lab because my prof just goes over personal jurisdiction everytime and then starts reading directly out of the book.
I work in law office, I don’t NEED to get my paralegal certificate but I know I will regret it if I don’t. Plus it looks a lot better on a resume to say I have it, then just the fact that I worked in an office for a year and a half.
Ok Now that my rant it’s over… It is my opinion that you should stay in school. You’re going to be bored, you’re going to be pissed off that you sit there. BUT in the end you will be glad you did it.
Have you tried talking to the professor and telling them that you have already covered the material that he is going over? Or maybe you could talk to someone higher then that.

wow, ok i wrote a lot, idk i was on a roll there.

ahem,

EDIT: I was typing and i didnt see your last post. I just saw this "The course im in doesnt give u any credentials except for saying u graduated from centenial college with basic skills, if i graduate and go into the trade, ill be making the same amount of $ as if i just went into it from highschool."

You don't get some type of degree from the program?
