Is school the only way?

[seizer]

I sit here struggling to do my work and ponder if this is the only way.

Maybe I'll wait another day and it'll click.

what school? undergrad? grad?


honestly - the point is to teach you how to learn/think. not the actual subject matter. although it is important, realtive to your major/interest.

I'm in a university in Canada majoring in Biochemistry (though I dont even know why). Undergrad right now. The content isnt hard by any means, but I just cant do the work for the life of me. If you put me to a task outside of school, that's a totally different story. I'll starve myself just to get the job done and done right.

Ummmm...MARKETING is the only way.....which is an aspect of whatever degree you're pursuing...

I hear about your work ethic but what field are you interested in? what are you interested in?

School will help you get a job. If you want to work for someone then yes, it's the only way. I can't do that personally. So I didn't go to school. I went into business, again and again until I got it right. It was cheaper and I learned more than I could have in school. But honestly, if you don't have the work ethic it takes to finish school, that's all the more reason to stay there. Because that means you won't make it out here without it.

You sound like I did in school.

You will most likely learn a lot more out in the real world than you ever will in school. Or more aptly put, whatever you do learn in school won't mean much unless you can learn how to apply it in the real world- ie, you can gather the building blocks in school, but will still have to put the pieces together once you leave. Very few make the practice of putting them together while still in school.

Will you have more pieces to work with having gone to school vs quitting/never going? Only if you can make something of them. Otherwise you'd have been better off getting a jump start on the rest of your life.


You'll figure it out bro.

I like to think I'm interested in what I'm doing, but if that was the case I'd probably be more involved with my work, no? I dunno, I have a dream of being a psychiatrist (personal shrink), so biochem isnt necessarily the feild I need to be in to pursue that occupation but to get to that point, you gotta go through med school and thats a whole lotta science. I figure biochem would help with that. The one thing I've never done in my life is a business course. And of all things, I would have though that would have been the first considering how much I've picked up from my father.

In all honesty, I'd rather start my own life right now. If I could convince my dad to let me run one of his business's and build myself up with his help, I think I could go much further than I could with school.

I'm a survivor when it comes to the real world and I will kill, rob and steal, per se, to get what I have to in order to suceed. I just dont know what the fuck I'm doing right now.

Biochem, honestly, I can do it no prob, but does that mean I should be doing it. Fuck if I know. It just sounded good.
