I barely graduated from college last year and I just feel depressed thinking of spending 20 years on getting an education.
I don't think I have really learned anything of any value that's truly transferrable in the workforce or in my personal life. Just a little bit of math and Language.
Was anyone in School taught how to do the following?:How to sellOr how to build relationshipsOr how to negotiateOr how to take care of your mental healthOr how to networkOr how to deal with personal finance.
If I have to figure all this shit out on the fly then what was the point of those 20 years?
Why aren't we taught about how to deal with workplace politics and how to negotiate a better salary and all the bullshit that goes with it?
Every now and then while I am at work I go what the hell am I doing with my life?
Was I played this entire time?
Shit, it all makes sense now.
Well Goddamn it!
Okay, I got it but how do I escape the matrix?
I'm finding adulting hard and I hate it.
So is this it?
I have made it as an adult and it all goes downhill from here huh?
Does anyone feel me? or am I the only Idiot here who hasn't figured it out?
Sorry for the long rant I had to get it out of my system.
