When did you realize how important education was?

[Flash Thunderton]

I'd say my junior year of high school.


I mean, I was always a good student. But my junior year I was all AP and I realized those other kids in my class are treating this shyt like LIFE.

For some of em it really is... And I figured out in a few years they'll be my competition.

Brehs ever since the spring of my Junior year I didn't work harder at anything than school.

That nerdy ass kid who was taking a computer class while going extra hard in math class every year since 5th grade ain't laughin at that.

School education?

The better question to ask is when did you realize that you've spent your whole life being conditioned for bullshyt and that your actual acquisition of KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM (not "formal" education) has to be taken into your own hands.

why does it have to be one extreme or the other? just because folks are making those comments about formal education doesn't equate to straight F's. The dumbest kid can finesse their way to a B/C average in public school.

To answer the thread, once I got to college. Most of what I learned in K-12 outside of those first 5 years where I got a foundation was indeed bullshyt.

Honestly, early to mid 20s. Realized how easy it is to get stuck in a dead end job. I'm talking about higher Ed tho.

 

[Doobie Doo]

real talk, define education. Cuz I learned more helpful shyt outside of school than in it.

After I withdrew from the first college I was enrolled at after getting straight Fs...when previously I had a respectable 2.6 gpa.

I moved back home with my parents and worked at McDonalds for a summer. I was 19 going on 20 at the time and this was back 2004. I realized the last thing I wanted to do was work at mcdonalds all my life so it inspired me to go back to school and graduate. I took a year to do courses at a community college, transferred them to a four year university, and here I am now with a degree and finally a good job even though at times I felt my degree was useless. I'm glad I graduated and didn't give up on myself.
