I want to quit my training, what are my alternatives?
Hi, I'm currently doing an apprenticeship and am in my second year. I'll be in my third in August. I actually assumed I could shorten the time, but that probably won't work since my exams aren't until July and I can't do anything at work. I'm not interested in it either, as I don't enjoy my work at all and have now decided to quit my apprenticeship. Even though it's only 13 months until I graduate, I just can't stand it much longer.
I haven't resigned yet; I'll do that next week. I want to sit down for a few hours soon and think about what I'm going to do in the future. I'm asking here because I might stumble across some ideas and possibly learn about possibilities I haven't even heard of yet.
What bothers me about my job is that I graduated from high school with a grade of 1.3 (Abitur) with a focus on medicine and mathematics, and now I'm working in a factory that I could have done with a secondary school education. I only ended up here because I had a rebellious phase in 2021 and didn't want to write any applications. What bothers me most about my job is that I have to get up very early at 4:50 a.m., exercise a lot, and get practically no sunlight and therefore no vitamin D. Besides, I have to use my brain practically zero, and I've always loved learning. You can call me "lazy," but I can't fulfill my potential if I don't enjoy something.
I'm not quite sure yet whether I should start university, pursue a new apprenticeship, or become self-employed. At 22, I'm already quite old, but I've done everything in my life so far: high school diploma, voluntary social year, etc. I'd love to have a job where I only work four days a week, no matter how hard the job is, as long as I have as little time as possible. What about jobs where you're only at work a little because they're particularly difficult? Or jobs where you can work from home.
What suggestions do you have for me?

You know what you want. But for the alternatives you need advice. How about you contact the relevant IHK staff and give you advice. Specifically to your qualifications? You’ve done a lot, yes, but now you’re planning to break an important step in your life after good 2/3. Later not so easy to explain this with “I was rebellious again”. I can’t give you a tip because I don’t know you. I can only tell you that with 22 and if you want to live and finance an adult life, something should have ended to build on it. Something that fits you and your talents in that case. And this as an alternative to mere giving up, because you don’t like something (which you can understand when you read, what you decided to do at that time).
Yes, the training is not until you have something new. The problem is that the train has already departed for a training place 2023, at least as far as the popular places are concerned.
You can make a study, but if you don’t know what you want to do, it’s going to go into your pants with quite a certainty.
Otherwise, I can only guess to just go to work without graduation somewhere.
In your place, I’d go through this now. When you cancel, you get a lock from the job center and thus no money.
I recognize a contradiction to the statement:
On the one hand, you want to have a job that exploits your potential and is fun, on the other hand, the job can be hard as long as you only work 4 days or work in the HO. Don’t make sense.
You don’t know what you want, but you should find out. Isn’t there a job for one of your hobbies?
I wouldn’t break in your place.
Finish it, a completed training is always worth something you do later, you can still decide yourself. There are also many opportunities as cross-incomeers. Without training, only auxiliary jobs often remain.
Your further explanations testify to a certain laziness that overpowers you.
