Academia is so wild, it takes a certain kind of person to be successful in it. I'm certainly not cut out for it, few are.
Besides, you're still learning new things, the degree isn't a waste at all. I guarantee you've learned transferrable skills and knowledge useful for working in different industries, not just whatever your degree is in.
Whether you pass or fail or whatever the metric is, you still succeeded. You learnt new things, new people, new ideas, new ways of thinking and analysing.
