The world preaches about getting a degree so much rather than really pursuing our passion .
Today, there are people who feel that everything they will ever need to be educated is getting a degree of some sort. This is getting more and more in demand, and most people have the concept that a degree equals education. However, most people, especially the rich ones, are now getting this paper certification for a fair price today, and I wonder if that equals education or something else entirely.
Being able to afford a degree is also not a joke today because you have to go through a whole lot of processes just to get all your grades, and also waste a whole lot of time doing that from one examination to another from year to year, all in the name of getting certified, which in most cases leads to us being unable to acquire or get real education needed for our survival in the outside world.
With all this being said, none of the young adults nowadays ever think to really have a say in what type of education they really want and also how they would want to approach such a situation. Either go to school or stay at home and learn or even a chance at choosing what's best for him or her.
When I was small, my parents were the ones to choose what I would study in school, and I never even had a chance to try things out myself or even be able to think of what I could be good at. However, while all this was going on, I fell in love with some things that really got my attention apart from studying for exams. It was dancing and reading during my leisure time, and I enjoyed every bit.
Also, I've been able to learn whatever interests me on the internet and connect with other people who I can learn from without having to go ask our teachers for help. But one thing I do ask them for is advice and direction, not about what's the derivative of x or other terms I might not understand.
I don't have to or need to because the internet is an open world, and I've learned to use that as my advantage, which costs me less than I pay at school that really just care about me because they are being paid to care.
Today, it's easier for people to learn and get educated by themselves without having to waste much time in college or in classes that offer no to little real-life experiences, which can be read in books and also on the internet without paying an exorbitant amount. It is simply because of this that I left the ambition of furthering more on my education and pursuing my career in dancing while also getting educated on topics that interest me without having to be graded or schooled by a teacher who probably is just there because he or she is paid to care about me.
The real-life is different, as you have to do all your best to get what you want, and that, in itself, is some education that's free for everyone, including the internet - it doesn't care about you, so it's best to get used to taking responsibility for ourselves than to think a degree will make all our problems go away.
Until next time
