Should I get a prelaw degree or humanities degree?
I was going for a medical lab tech degree at a university. I have a low paying trade in nursing and a pointless associates and arts degree. Both put me in low paying dispositions. I was taking chemistry classes before the pandemic hit. I have an auto immune disease and cant leave the house. I decided to change my major to religious studies because I find religion interesting. I thought with all my education could just teach. The only issue is I am hating my classes and not learning anything. I have made the presidents list in hard math computer and sciences classes. I cant seem to get into my classes. I switched to a prelaw degree because it can be completed online. It seems more useful. If I switch down majors again it is going to slow down my time to graduate with a 4 year degree. If I take law classes what if I dont like that too? I have over a 120 credits with over a 3.0 GPA. They say this pandemic could last years. What do i do stick out my degree gets Cs just to get a four year degree in humanities?
Sam it was a political science degree

The courses you took and plan to take have no pattern. They're not related to each other. You don't know what you're doing. You have no direction. You're wasting your time. Nothing good will happen and you won't move forward unless you decide what exactly do you want to do.
If it's the pay, college is not the only option. If it's just to teach, you will need a degree in education to teach anywhere from K-12 and at least a masters degree to teach in college. If it's really law, your abilities in logic and problem solving are askew but who knows? It's all up to you. You have to make up your mind and push through with A plan. No changing. Commit and finish what you start.

There's no such thing as a "pre-law" degree. Law schools in the U.S. accept students with any undergraduate major, and no major prepares you better for law school admission than any other (in fact, you are statistically less likely to be admitted to law school as a political science, criminal justice, or psychology major than as a physics major).
Have you considered pursuing a paralegal degree at your community college? It would take less time than a bachelor's degree and prepare you for a decent career.
