endless

I feel schooling is eating away my life. Every time I revisit the thought of college being another four year, I cringe back in fear. And after college it's another four year, and then another, another......I'm almost 18 and yet it seems as if I'm still a million light years away from the real world. I am. And it's sickening.

Matthew Crawford talks about how the people working in the cubicles are distant from the reality because their work have little direct result. I think student represents this type of work better than the cubicle-workers. Our effort have no result. None. I feel powerless. I can barely do anything to influence the world, or simply the people around me. I am fully aware of the fact that students can do a lot of things, and that without basic education there's no way I am going to pursue what I want to pursue. But how long must I wait?
