I am gonna take charge of this utterly pointless thread, and bring some sort of meaning to it.Honestly, what's missing in my life is probably a feeling of self-importance. What I mean is, I have all of these goals I want to accomplish, but the process it take to accomplish these goals takes forever. I feel like I'm just sitting on my ass in a classroom learning shit that will never apply to my goals in life.So I guess I'm missing patience in my life as well. Anyways, I tried to save this thread. If all else fails, "free post".
my throat hurts, its hard to swallow, and my body feels like i got a serious ass beating.

I know what you mean... but there's a different way to look at this (as with everything else), and it would probably be more fulfilling to look at it this way. An education in itself is very valuable in my opinion, regardless of whether you ever use all that information (in my case, economic theories) to achieve your goals or not... the four years that you're spending at the school is giving you the backbone for what you want to do in the future... some of the information you're going to apply... I think it also serves to train you to think a certain way. Also, I love gaining knowledge.... and anyone that's out there gaining knowledge is doing something positive for themselves, and maybe even for others, since more knowledge means less ignorance. And I think you said you're planning on becoming a doctor... so there's no reason why you should feel any lack of self-importance when you're doing what is necessary to reach that goal... certain things in life are just a series of stepping stones... a career path and the education leading up to it is certainly one of those things. So I guess in the end it really is (or should be) just a matter of you being impatient... but that goes for many of us. I'm very impatient... but it seems like it's only for things in the short-term (I get pissed off sitting in traffic, if I'm picking my girlfriend up and she's not ready by the time she said she would be, etc)... for long-term goals I've learned to accept that it's all about completing one thing to start another in order to eventually reach my goal.

College may be useful in pursuing a career, cause it gives you a piece of paper that will help you land a job. But let's be real, almost anything you can learn in college you can learn with a library card, internet access, and motivation. And not only that but you will learn it your own way, and not just be merely repeating what your teaching has "trained" you to say.

Yeah, a college education is useful because you earn a degree that will help you land a job. Have you attended, or are you attending college right now? I honestly don't think you can equate a college education to popping open an encyclopedia. In my opinion there's more to a formal education than simply obtaining information.

In my opinion there's more to a formal education than simply obtaining information. Fuck school (*bumps Dead Prez "They Schools")I try to stay away from school as much as possible. Every once in a while I forget how bad it really is, and go back... but I am quickly reminded.I have a few certificates from school. I have a CDL (Commercial Drivers Liscence). I have a CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) and a CMT (Certified Medication Technician). I also have a lot of useless credit hours that have amounted to nothing. I've wasted time, wasted money, passed a few here, flunked a few there... and it was all straight up BULLSHIT! And the last time I even liked the social atmosphere of school was jr. high.And anything I learned in school I could of learned much better outside of school. Coming out of high school I didn't even know what a passport was... I only started learning when I got out of high school (public schools are nothing more than government schools by the way) and started making my own moves.
Maybe in your case it was a waste of time and money. You not knowing what a passport was doesn't have anything to do with school... it just means you were a sheltered dumbass... I'm sorry but it's true... I knew what a passport was in elementary.
Where have "your own moves" taken you?
Also maybe your hate for school stems from your dislike of the "social atmosphere"... maybe the fact that you weren't liked very much and didn't have many friends prevented you from appreciating the education itself.
