I think I realized something tonight, and it scares me because I know I can't follow it.
I don't want to go back to college. There's a lot of good things that people learn there, and it's really great for some people, but I don't think I was ever made to be one of those kids. Learning about independence? Oh please, all I've learned from college so far is that I pay someone enough money they'll find me and allow me to live somewhere. Learning to take responsibilities? Naw, bro that ain't me. If anything I've become less likely to do anything--I spend more time on the internet since I've started college than before. The only time I ever do anything is when I'm forced to work. Knowledge? I can honestly say that everything I learned from my classes, are things I learned on my own time. I can do the same thing from home, in my free time.
The say that have this piece of paper will give you more job openings, well yeah. But have you ever noticed that no matter where someone is working, unless they're way up on the food chain then they're usually just as miserable as the people on the bottom. The key difference isn't the hours but what the people choose to do outside of their work.
And the economy is hurting, it's hurting partly because we have all these kids that want to be in college now and now be part of the labor skilled force. Everyone wants to sit down and push papers, because that's just as exciting.
Maybe I'm just really tired.
