Does anyone else wonder if college is right for them? I have so many days where I wonder if I should be here in college or if I should just start working for a year or 2 and then come back to go to school. Some days I can’t see myself doing anything useful with my life without a college degree and other days I think of all the people who have done great things without a college degree. And I ask myself, do I need to be in college? Do I need to spend all this money on these classes? Or could I just go out there and start making enough money to life like how I want to.
Do you ever sit around and wonder which cars you want to drive when you’re older? Do you ever sit around and wonder what your family and life are going to be like when you’re older? Do ever sit around and wonder what I what to get out of life? I do. I sit around in my free time when I have nothing else to be doing and I dream about what cars I want, how I want my kids to act, how I want my marriage to be, how I want my house and yard to look like, and how I want life to go for me. I sit around making cars online seeing how much money I will spend on those. I also look at which boats, atvs, motorcycles, and fun toys I will have in my life. I hope to have a decent house, with a huge yard, a few dogs, tons of cars, 2 boats, some atvs, a motorcycle or 2, and a loving family without spoiled kids.
When I think about how I want to live and whether or not I want to go to college, I realize I need a good job and need a lot of money. And to get a good job I need a college degree. This is frustrating because I wish I could just start my life now. I don’t want to wait 4-5 more years to do what I feel like would be the start of my life.

Hm... Interesting. I sit around thinking as well, but mostly about other things -- my future, yes, but so much is already clear to me now. I am kind of envious of the openness of your dreams/family/future -- there is so much left to be decided.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely f*ing hate it that college is a "requirement" in this culture/economy. I love being a student and I love education, but I wish people in higher education were all here truly out of a desire to be here -- not because you need to have a BA to do well, or we think you do, in the current economic climate. As you said, many without college degrees have succeeded. Heck, Drake didn't even graduate from high school... ;)
yea..i actually thought last semester was going to by my last semester at tech. but b&b convinced me to stay. After my accident i realized i wanted a family and i still wonder if i'm wasting my time and money being here while i could be with someone i love. My career field, I dont need a degree.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy this movie as well..."I wish it were winter so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it and melt it in the spring time and drink it" favorite quote.
