i in 2nd year of my studies and i really feel like dropping out. no point i'm gonna suffer through the uni and ended up being in a harder working environment. bothers me why some working adults keep furthering studies. don't all people think studying is such a suffer?
im not really sure but i dont like school myself...All the shitty curriculum and things drive me crazy, but you need the uni degrees to get good paying jobz
Well, a lot of people actually like learning. Personally, I absolutely love learning math, computer science, and physics. I find those subjects fun and I enjoy learning about them. Its not about making money in the future or anything like that (though that's the incentive for a lot of uni people).
I think a degree is HIGHLY overrated. I only enjoy school because it gives me time to drink and enjoy life without consequences right now. It's not everday you enjoy college life. These are the best years of your life. Do not get a degree if it does nothing for you. The real money comes from grad school, not college.
That really depends on what kind of person you are. If you like to learn new things, to gain knowledge, then studying can be fun. I personally love learning new things, just not the way our educative system offers it. But I still like going to school, because it's about being with friends, and I never have to make any homework or actually learn for tests And then there's the fact that the more you've studied, the more money you will make later. And that's why a lot of people keep furthering studies. You can start to work now, without any education, and get a low pay and most of the times a repetitive job. Or you can learn, and become for example a doctor. Now that's a job that has a good payout, and you can't quite call it repetitive. So yeah, I think studying itself is "such a suffer". That's why I don't do that, but then again I'm blessed with quite a good brain But I like gaining knowledge in general, and knowing a bit about everything.
Well it depends on whether or not you think you have good earning potential at the job you are currently at.
I went to trade school for electronics. I have my associates in electronics engineering now, but even though electronics is a hobby of mine, some points of the training were BORING. I do miss having fun and it was kinda like paradise of sorts. I skipped a lot and slept through class a lot, but only because I knew enough, that I was able to just come to class when exams were being administered, and ace them (and in doing so, pissing off all other classmates - they hated the fact I could skip and sleep so much and still ace the tests). I would go back for automotive, computer engineering, computer programming, and more, but its just SOOOO expensive. If it were not for the cost, my bum would be in school learning a new trade for sure. But as for you, and other people, either school is for you, or it isnt. If it isnt, get out now, before wasting more money. No sense in paying for failed courses.
It depends on what you want to be like someone said earlier - I feel like I've done both. I've worked full work weeks doing really bad work, and hated it. I'd much rather go to school and get a job that I'm gonna enjoy, if you can find a good paying job in something you enjoy then drop out, but the chances of that happening from my experience is low. Bachelors Degrees are like high school diplomas 30 years go unfortunately, I always say you should stay in school to better your life and marketability. The fact is there's jobs you won't be eligible for without a degree
Between the 2 school is definitely harder than work. The only reason working adult go back to school is so that they can get a better job or promotion.
for me, I picked a major that I really liked and I was really good at so I didn't have to study and only spent a minimal amount of time doing homework granted I didn't get the highest grades possible but I also was able to spend time doing the things I like to do and I the things I learned I will be able to apply to whatever I decided to do personally I think school is better than working full time because you can make your own schedule and use your time the way you want to with work you have to go to your job or you get fired, you can skip class and sleep in if you want all while under the guise of getting a degree that is supposed to be your ticket to a good job I would say finish up school and be sure to get an internship, no work experience with a degree=crappy job opportunities or at least, that's what happened to me since my major was in the classics department (lol)
And what about all the people who did study harder but can't find jobs now? Perhaps just working harder would be more beneficial.
In todays economy going to school and getting a good education means nothing, you are not guaranteed a better chance then anyone else. Most places I know of hirer based on job experience rather then education.
Study hard, so that you can work hard later. Although, studying IS working. It's kind of like a subset. So there isn't really a dichotomy between the two...
Like other people said, it depends on what you want to do in life. There are a lot of good jobs that don't require a degree, but there are way more jobs that pay very very well if you go to school. I'm planning on becomming a cardiologist by the time I'm 29, med school in Denver cost 27,000 dollars a semester which equals to about 216,000 after 4 years. Once I graduate a cardiologist starting pay on average is 245,000 a year which pays off. I think going to school is worth it so long as it's something you enjoy doing. But If you enjoy working at Mcdonald's (lol) by all means go for it, many people start off working at the fries and end up a district manager.
Well I dont know about doctors ect.. certain things require a degree of course. I work as an accounts manager for a large coffee guru and I am paid very well. I completed grade 9 and its been 20 years and never looked back.
Yeah an education is important regardless of the economy. The more you have the more competition you are.
But there's always a danger of educating yourself out of a job. I know plenty of people who have been overqualified for a job, and as a result didn't get hired because they would be too expensive for the job required.
You study hard and suffer through to have a cushier job at the end. Without any qualifications you're just unskilled labor/
Ehh, I don't have much of an opinion, as I've never been very good at either. I do not consider myself to be an ambitious person in any respect, and I personally resent all the hype that I should make something of myself. I don't want to go to school, I don't want to get a job. I just want to get married and take care of my family. Unfortunately, the 50's are long gone, and there are very few single-income homes in comparison nowadays. But stfu, being a housewife is my true calling in life.
