First off, thanks for clicking on my crazy thread title...
So basically I'm currently enrolled in my local county college free of charge (graduated in top 15% of high school class) and I'm nearly done with the first semester. Before I stepped foot in a college I had a strong feeling it wasn't for me, but pressure from my parents caused me to go. I stayed local so that I could continue to run my landscaping business. Here are my problems though...
1. I cannot take the professors seriously. The material they teach is appropriate for middle school children.
2. Everyone seems to be so brainwashed, anti-fast lane, and convinced that this is the path to wealth.
3. Although it's free, I feel my time is being wasted. I wouldn't mind paying for an education that benefited me, but this clearly isn't and time is my most precious asset. Reminds me of MJ discussing the free burger at Wendy's.
4. I'm working towards a goal I have no interest in. I have no desire to become a good employee for a big corporation. I get a thrill from just running my landscaping business, and that is what I consider fun.
Yes, I am aware that college is a safe route... however, I'd rather fail miserably at something I love than excel in a field that ages me. Thoughts and suggestions??
