Good ol edumacation.
It's funny, because while I'm think this, I'm reading a good friends blog that relates to this in a way. School....and why everyday I just wanna say f*** it and live on with my life. Everyday that passes, it seems like it's less about students and more about money in their pockets. For god sake, I take a semester off and I'm dis enrolled?? And now have to pay $200 just to get back in school??? On top if that it's impossible to get a student loan and I dont have the money to pay for any classes. Which wouldn't be a problem if they said "Y'know what, sign up for your classes, start school, but you can't do NEXT semester until u get this figured out." But no, they want it the same day? Maybe somebody in the office lied to me and deserves to be unemployed. But after all this, I ask myself day in and day out, is it even worth it?? Is paying off a 75K student loan for the majority of my post college career worth it?? How long am I going to keep the job I spent so much money to get? Do I really need a degree for it? Is God telling me to try harder or do something else? Is this the test that determines if I'll be successful not only in school, but in life? I always live by the motto "If there's a will, there's a way" but.......is my will fading? I need motivation and a good prayer session.

Dude, I'm in the same boat. Really, the only way that I can foresee a future with education is if employers that value their employees (which is few) pay for their education as an investment into the company. Education has been commercialized. It's horrible. In fact, my dad really wants to change that trend (he's working on his PhD right now). He knows how wrong it is, but unless there is a change, then this system will have to do.
ReplyDeleteBut it will change. Once enough people like you and me realize how flawed this system is, we'll be able to change it.
