I think that I may have a religious vocation. I feel genuinely drawn to it. I want to be devoted entirely to Our Lord, and I think that He is calling me. I could be wrong in this discernment. However, if it’s correct, than what good is it (practically) to waste 4 years of my life and my parents’ money at this rotten institution? I’m thinking about withdrawing after the end of this semester, which is soon approaching.

 At this point, I don’t really care what my parents will say or do about this. I would still be living with them in this scenario, but would get a job to start paying for my own stuff, and would even offer to help pay off the loans. I feel the need to stand up for myself. I don’t know if this is of God or not. Any advice would be appreciated, as always.
What enquiries have you made regarding a religious vocation? 

Make the enquiries first before you even think of stopping your studies. If you get an interview I beleve you will be advised to come back when your study is completed. If you complete your teacher training you will not have wasted time, but you may have matured a little. 

Keep up your prayers and respect your parents. You are dependent and depending on them. What are you doing now to help pay off the loans? Are you working weekends / holidays? What do you do to pull your share around the home. I could be wrong but you come across a bit arrogant in this last post.

Why do Catholics send their children to liberal colleges?  

Corinthians states that Christians shouldn’t go near such establishments of evil or hang out with those in mortal sin.  
You never see too many Catholics groups on campuses anymore.  Catholic colleges such as Notre Shame promotes sɛҳuąƖ promiscuity and sodomy.  

Many people have degrees but don’t have jobs because they refuse to work. Do the math. People who are now in their 50’s and 60’s are still paying off student loans because college is a money scam being used to brainwash students to be communists.

Change your major to something practical.   Go to class and get your credits and avoid the social life of the college. Stay at least one year  so you have something to put on a resume. and then leave. Get a job. Everyone of my family members who had a job during college got permanent offers before graduation.   You are a man now and need to stand on your own two feet. Don't just have a tantrum. Make plans and don't say anything to your parents until you are ready to leave their house.

 OP here. I’d like to share an update. Thanks for all the advice since my last post. 

 On All Saints Day I had to take a field trip to  a middle school in an inter-city area to observe public school teachers. Watching some of these teachers doing their job well made me think that this might be the career for me. I don’t think that this is naive, since one of the teachers I observed had a classroom full of disruptive students, but it turns out that this was his first year teaching. But, seeing the more experienced teachers do their job inspired me. Since then, I think that I might just end up continuing this major, and get a job in this field, even with the all the garbage I’m going to have to put up with. If I become a teacher, I would prefer to get a job in a decent Catholic school rather than a public school for obvious reasons. Please pray for me. 

Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn’t waste my money on a teaching degree.  You don’t need that to teach at a catholic school (or you shouldn’t...find a school that does t require it).  You won’t get paid much and you’ll never be able to pay off the debt.  Either get a degree in something that pays well, or if you want to be a teacher, still get a degree in a “back up” plan (ie engineering or business or IT).
