I have been in and out of college several times and I've failed physics twice already. My entire life has been on hold for the past 10 years because I have most of a degree except for physics. So here I fucking am, taking physics as an older and more mature adult. Surely I'll be able to make it work just this once. But no. The lab professor is the biggest hardass I've ever seen and I'm not even completing the non-lab homework at a sustainable rate because they're being hardcore about that too. At a community college this time of all places.

If I had a time machine I would go back in time and tell myself to never go to college ever under any circumstances. Even going to las vegas and gambling all my money away would have been a better choice. Even throwing fistfuls of $100 bills out of an airplane would have been a smarter financial decision. Even working at Walmart where those 15 cent raises eventually add up over the course of 10 years would have been a more lucrative career path.

Tl;dr fuck society

I encourage people to drop out around 10th grade, get your GED, go to community College for all your Gen Courses, then take a path to what your passion is. It's way more affordable, and our public school system is extremely outdated. There are many different types of "thinkers". I.E. Those with an Inner Dialouge and those who think in Emotion and Representational Imagery. One size does not fit all. My hope is A.I. will change the way everyone is educated. Or, it'll be used for greedy, and nefarious purposes. But one can hope!
