I did excellent in high school and trade school but every time I attempt university I can't do it. I manage to last 1-2 years. Don't know why this happens but I see literal retards with two bachelors degrees.
Some possible explanations as to why this happens:
—Can't concentrate in classes of 100 people
—Professors who can't speak English
—Forced into group projects for literally everything with idiots
—Half the people are there to get laid and party instead of learning
—Half of your courses have nothing to do with your degree
—Workload gives zero free time outside of school hours
—Spend half your time walking around the giant campus looking for your classes
I wish I could muster the strength to get a degree because it would make my life so much easier but instead I'm relegated to skilled trades. Uni just feels like a massive humiliation ritual.
Laws was boring. It was basically just bureaucracy on a higher level, lacking all sorts of creativity. You were just learning to be a good cog in the machine.
Architecture was kindergarten bullshit. It was utterly pathetic and I couldn't take it seriously.
Informatics I started to learn AFTER I was able to code. I saw that it was riddled with a lot of nonsense that doesn't matter at all. In addition it was difficult and useless, just to serve as a hoop to jump over to prove how smart you are. I dropped out and started to work as a programmer, and grew into quite a decent one. I started out being between a junior and intermediate, so everything I learned all by myself before and after.
Today I am working on my own project which is soon done. It range from medium to extreme difficulty, so it includes some novel technology. In case of success I will be able to continue to do that, and with more success I might create a company. With low success I can slap it on my CV, which no human will read because companies are retarded nowadays and don't give a fuck about competence.
What bothered me most are the students there. They were infantile, naive, lambs to the slaughter types. They mindlessly played along everything thrown at them. I saw only few who were noticeably intelligent.
