School spends a long time “wasting” our time but learning things is a great way to learn how to interpret information and make actual informed decisions

Yes and No. School really lacks a sort of “general knowledge” class, to get a general overview of lots of varied things.
It’s always been incredibly strange to me how you’re supposed to pick your career after high school (more or less) when you usually know about less than 10% of the jobs that exist.
PICK YOUR CAREER RIGHT NOW, GO TO COLLEGE IT’S OK TAKE OUT A LOAN YOU’RE GOOD FOR IT WHEN YOU GET THAT JOB YOU JUST PICKED
if you don’t do that you’ll FLIP BURGERS! Do you wanna be a greasy shithead for the rest of your life?! NO GO TO COLLEGE RIGHT NOW.
tens of thousands of dollars in student loans and a degree I will never use later, I went back to trade school and am in fact a greasy shithead. Fuckin best thing I ever did. Fuck you college salesman guy. You gave me a bad advice
Shit I’d be a burger flipper for life if it paid a living wage. I worked retail for 11 years and the only problem I ever had with it was the garbage pay.
And the complete lack of the school to provide much help. They just shrugged it off by saying there are too many fields and possibilities. Yeah, so some more guidance by people with experience would be invaluable to somebody young. Then comes the complaining about students dropping out or change fields in college.
SO TRUE!!
I didnt kniw what to do with myself.
So I got into another (i believe that’s whats it called) vocational school for 2 years.
But then I knew what not to be doing as a job. But I knew it should be anything with IT.
Now I am at an MSP doing IT :) (not thanks to our school system, lol)
