Just graduated highschool and searching for meaning

High school wasn't that bad-- my grades were good, got 4s on all my AP exams, I challenged myself a bit, got into my state school, had a small circle of close friends. But I don't really know if I want to read and write and spend 4 years for a degree. It all feels so depressing now as I am typing this alone in my room while the sun is setting, wishing I never had to work another day in my life again. I can't seem to really search for any meaning.

Dont go to 4 year college unless you want to teach college or are going for a PHD in the long run. Dont get me wrong, my first two years of college right before the pandemic were the most fun I ever had in my life, but college doesnt actually help you get a career anymore like the boomers claim. I'm now stuck out of work with 40k debt three years after graduating (with Cum Laude, no less) because everything in the tech sector has been outsourced to jeets and Ukrainians, and it turns out that McGoyslop wont hire me for being overqualified. If you do want to go to college for an actual career, I recommend a 2 year program in a more technical field, or better yet, go to a career center and learn a trade.

There's a lot of truth to this. I just accepted a new position as an engineer. I do not have an engineering degree. I got the job because of what I learned in the field.
