Do what makes you happy, but as someone who has been out of school for over 13 years, I wish I'd spent less time in school and more time getting real world experience and building my own business.

matter of taste, i definitely see your point 💜

School felt like prison to me but I went to American schools where they brainwash you.

what kind of brainwash do you feel that you experienced?

The kind where they make you study and regurgitate fairy tales about their view of US and World History. They teach you about gerund phrases and how to make grilled cheese sandwiches instead of how to run a business or provide for yourself.

The US education system is set up to create dependent employees, not entrepreneurs. Worker bees not leaders.

They don't teach you about taxes, just that you should obey the laws or end up in prison. The curriculum and courses available largely center around distraction from missteps by the American govt and place blame on foreign countries when something went awry in history.

Economics is another topic that they totally misrepresent. Most of what I've learned about the world came after graduating from university.

wait

you got taught how to make a grilled cheese
