Don't be a victim of education. Many people grow up not knowing anything better, so they resort all their time and money to education. They seek out so many prestigious things... so many tests, programs, etc.

However, in the end, many of these people fail to even learn essential skills to living. They tend to lack the ability to figure out things on their own, because they are so used to following structured education.

I'm not trying to get you going on conspiracies or anything, but it's something to think about. Don't get so fed up in being educationally prestigious, that you end up wasting your money. Some of the most intelligent people in the world aren't exactly academic.

What grade are you in again?

Given you aren't a basement-dwelling dropout.

I graduated high-school this summer. Believe it or not, I was #9 in my class. Now I'm attending community college. However, on the inside, I've really grown to question school in general.

I spent so much time and energy with education, now I wonder if it was really worth. There is an amount of education that is essential... but then most people take it to a point which is almost pretentious.

I truly believe that college is really like a status thing. It's like "buying the name brand". People are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars for a degree... just to brag they got a piece of paper from a prestigious university.

In the end, education isn't what will give you a job, or success. Success comes from the will-power of the individual. It comes from their integrity and discipline.. not how many academic achievements they have.

Contrary is right though

Determination and having the right connections and discipline will determine true success, not education itself

You can do whatever makes you happy but it really sounds like you simply haven't found it yet.

I personally love reading books and learning new things because it makes my actual classes way too easy.

Learning new things makes me happy and challenging my mind with new problems is like scratching an itch that's in my head.

The only sense you're right in is that people who study often don't actually practice what they learned and end up forgetting it. I study subjects for my own personal satisfaction.

I have methods of earning money so that isn't an issue for me. I have somewhat rich parents and a lot of people who are willing to pay me to write programs for them.

I used to be very much against the idea of going to College just for a degree but I've decided that I very much want to study the Physics of how computers work at the bit level and such to the fullest extent. This is why I believe that MIT is where I belong, as they focus primarily on subjects which I'm incredibly interested in (Computer Science, Physics, Calculus).

I can make more than enough money to be self-sustained, so I'm not looking to get a career out of this when I'm done. If I wanted to do that, then I would just accept the first College invitation letter that falls into my mailbox, like the rest of the general public.

Yeah, you're right. I haven't found peace in what I do yet. I don't have anything against people who take joy and pride in education, and actually put to good use.

However, there are those people (and you know who I'm talking about), that abuse their education to make themselves seem important. In reality though, they really lack knowledge. I guess that was my warning. If deep down, you really don't want education, then don't force it upon yourself.

Besides, if people really want to learn, they can do it without the school system. Education is great, but the way it's presented in most societies.. is well, more like a system to make money.

I did do it without a school system. I have severe ADHD that I didn't get recognized until Junior year, at which point they prescribed me Vyvanse for it. Vyvanse itself has not made me smarter, though it helped me prioritize and made me open up a textbook for the first time. Once I started reading, I went from being an average student to being a straight A, proactive, gets-everything-done-ahead-of-time student.

I've never seen ADHD as a disorder. Often times, if directed properly toward the correct thing, it equals personal success.

To be quite honest, I think I suffer from some degree of ADHD. I've never been diagnosed however.

In 7th grade, me and a few of my friends were qualified to take it, and I got a 16, but hey at least I took it years sooner than most others. My friends (who were in the same grade) got a 20, 24, and 27.

@Contrary

ADHD is an umbrella term for a wide variety of disorders. The one I have has been crippling to my education and development. It's known as inattentive ADHD and it means that it's significantly difficult to get motivated and you just sit around doing nothing. You'll find that paying attention is near impossible. You will just get bored and what you hear goes into one ear and out the other. If you somehow manage to focus, it'll still be incredibly difficult to retain any information from lectures.

From taking Vyvanse, I found that reading a textbook opposed to hearing a lecture is a super efficient method of learning which they have never encouraged in my past experiences in educational institutions. I'm glad I started reading since it's set me on the right path in life that I am truly interested in.
