And yet people will still treat you like a naive kid if you deviate from the norm too much.
It took me years before realizing I needed to change how I ask questions to college admissions. I did 15 years of compulsory education for nothing because I was held to a lower standard then I even tested for. Being railroaded into CC because of that was not something I was willing to do when I finally got legal agency.
Despite making it very clear that I would rather redo 4 years of high school then do 2 years of college, no one suggested I just redo the CC classes at a 4 year. I had to be in a particularly undiplomatic mood to insist that I was asking a policy question, not a life advice question when I inquired if it was possible to redo classes I already got credits for.
