RE: Degrees, Platforms & Business Opportunities: Are We Limited In Our Choices?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Well, i think I'm one of those that just want to get a degree because it's "common sense". Frankly, I am putting little to no effort in my school works and 60% of my day goes to Hive.
A lady and I were debating about how school affects our lives. I told her everything i know today was never learned from school. Also, she made a passing comment about coming top of my class. She said, "it makes you more respected and dignified."
I replied with, "A man walks into this room with a well ironed and neat native, expensive watch and the latest iPhone. His shoe is pure leather and his hair totally cared for. He drives a venza and speaks good English. Tell me, would you see him as not dignified even before you see his certificate?"
I wasn't trying to be fickle. I was just laying my point that what matters isn't and shouldn't be a certificate but a man's ability to totally take advantage.
I also agree with people getting a degree to just add to their list of achievement. Frankly, I'm not gunning first class but I don't want to fail either. However, I'm not going to kill myself immersing myself that has little to no benefits whatsoever.
Sorry for the long comment 😅

The long comment is well appreciated. On a more serious note you manage to make your point fairly well and I think it's even the best ways you can. Sincerely,it's no long about these endless degrees, life's totally short and people are living to live for degrees. Well this isn't to say it isn't important, a lot of people miss the importance of education it's basically to be learned and informed in what's necessary and not things or knowledge that aren't really necessary. I hope your school work is coming just fine?

Like i said, I'm not beating myself up about it. I'm sorry. I'm just getting to check my notifications. I'm sure you've already replied with your discord which I'll get to once I see it.
But school is fine. Tbh, I feel overwhelmed most times and like I'm doing nothing. That may be true but it still guts me.
Lol you might not beat yourself up, but sometimes you might subconsciously do it, due to succumbing to external pressure from parent and coursemates. It's feels untrue on the surface. Lol, you'll survive.
