Why We Shouldn't Be Doing Academics Studying - Much.
Sometimes, I wonder why am I studying for? If you have heard me say earlier, I have long abandoned the idea that "certification is king". Not anymore. The shifts in society, or at least, what I have noticed, are not looking at just academic certification. Not anymore.
Perhaps previously, I did not want to lose out in the "rat race". Then again, I don't think I subscribe to that thought of getting a degree is like VERY important. Not anymore. I hate it when I have to do all these mundane studying knowing that I might not be able to use possibly ANY of what I learnt in uni in my work life. Face it.
Sometimes, I have this thought of just wanting to withdraw from this whole degree course. But then, having just one year left, I think I should just follow suit and complete whatever's left. Whatever it takes. Even though I'm clearly not a fan of academial studying.
Maybe why I say this is because I realise that there is too much out there that talks about skills and experience compared to what you learnt in school. What you learnt in school would bring you to certain heights, but that's about it. To reach greater heights or beyond require so much more. The school textbooks can only revise and update like every year? But NEWS are happening everyday. The economy changes without warning. The world is shifting. So are you REALLY sure school textbooks work much?
I am still complaining even though I'm doing part-time studies. It is just that I don't find any utmost relevance from what I'm studying, except that I am doing so because everyone thinks that getting a degree is a MUST.
Then again, I have my own thinking. And my thinking tells me that I should not forgo where my skills or talents lie: Music, Arts, Writing, etc.
It will be a folly to just focus all energy on tertiary studies.
Someone needs to educate this badly.
