Stupid decision or momentary inspiration?

Hi people, I seek good advice.

I'm going to quite a well paying job in the construction industry simply because I cannot stand it anymore. What couldn't I stand? The so many restrictions, the so long hours (sixty a week, 6 days, 10 hours a day), the dull and tedious work... I'm 23, and have been out of university for a year, after graduating with an engineering degree. I always wanted to study philosophy, but the hope of job security in the future kept me locked into engineering. I never really liked it, even if it was challenging.
I planned to return to school in January 2007 to earn a BA in philosophy, but found out I can't earn credit for the courses I want to take because I've earned credit for them during my first degree.

Did I make a stupid decision when quitting school? And if so...what could be my perspectives?

Says who? About the credits. You need to get your educational situation (disciplines, hours, courses, seminars, grades, credits) and try to use them in your new study program. EQUIVALENCE, that's it.

Thanks, smith, you were right. The educational situation is more than helpful, I 've done some researches and there is a university who will have me based on that, but starting from January 2008. Which is not bad, not bad at all!
