tumblr: Is the concept of 'drop solder' a bad idea?

General
Some journals are personal, and some journals are business related for Kinzart. For everything else, I don't care.
Ultimately, as I am busy with my college education, these past two semesters have truly tested my patience with the whole system. As mentioned in my prior college related journal, I have taken Microeconomics, which resulted in a B+. My class from the previous semester from that was Macroeconomics, which resulted with a B as well. Now I am taking Introduction to Business (starting to notice a pattern here?).
Intro to Business is apparently the precursor class to macroeconomics and microeconomics. After my first 'check' test, I am ready to drop it like a dead baby. Normally I am a decent test taker (in the sense I can properly organize my thoughts and ideas quickly), but if this test is a 'check' test, I don't even want to deal with the midterm, and the final can just suck my-
Now my issue is not that I suck at college. My other classes (the retake of C++ and Web Design, both of which are online, even though Web Design is a hybrid class) are so far in the green. Calculus is just a struggle due to the professor's teaching style (swift and rushing, which is odd in how it is somewhat helpful but makes note taking a nightmare, even with the aid of my CF-T7).
The fact that nearly the WHOLE class failed and the fact I was stuck taking the test with an IDIOT who didn't even read the material was a nailgun to my coffin in this class, and it is only the first quarter! I am growing fearful with the progression of this class since my ONE degree will be met once I have completed it. That means I have one degree on my belt with the other getting near done (after I decide to pick which poison,Discrete Math or Calculus III, to take). I really want to graduate mostly to also get my folks off my back (who keep pushing me on the college ordeal, which has led to loss of actual work since all they care about is the college. I believe that due to this it only makes college seem less and less valuable). Having not taken a single semester off, having the events occur as they have (funerals, car accidents, huge expenses, lack of project completion and loss of clients as a result), and just having mental struggles is really making me question my education as a whole.
So my question involves 'drop solder' classes, or basically classes you already know you are going to drop in the event things go bad so you can focus on the others. My father has a very negative response to me dropping classes (even though I keep at least 10+ credits for completion reasons) and I'm trying to keep my GPA up, but slowly I'm just wanting out of college so much I almost don't care. Likewise, I can't rely on the board to respond to if a whole class fails (or at least a majority fail like 90%) because of their lack of response when I had a car accident just outside their campus (the prior semester). I need this class to graduate, but at the same time, being involved with KZK, having taken the classes this is a precursor to, and seeing how college has only made my life more disheartening as it is, is it REALLY worth it now?
