Hey Lime, how about this. You offer to submit yourself to bound tickling at any member's hands for thirty minutes. If you can go all 30-minutes, you win $30. If you call out the safeword before the 30-minutes is up, YOU OWE the tickler $1 per minute left on the clock.
Sorry, I don't have any serious suggestions about getting the money. But I do seriously suggest that you don't drop out.
When I was in school (graduated 1983), I noticed a strong tendency for people to drop out during the last half of their Junior Year or the first part of the Senior Year. Most all of us were a little crispy about that time. A great number of our higher classes were either independent studies or seminars, so basically we were either teaching ourselves or other students. Kinda made me feel like I wasn't getting all that much professional instruction for my education dollar, if you see what I mean.
The thing is, the five guys from my peer group that dropped out never went back (to the best of my knowledge). Only me and two others from the group finished the whole course of studies. I guess we were kinda like boxers in the ring ... beat to a pulp but too ornery to quit.
Good luck with whatever you decide. BTW, getting my degree has prooved to be worth it in the long run. If nothing else, I have a sense of accomplishment I wouldn't have if I'd quit.
