People's respect depends on your education 6 months ago

The respect people have for you definitely depends a bit on your level of education. I feel very inadequate not having a bachelors degree and I feel I should get one. I just need to find the motivation to study and the time to get it done.



I hate studying 11 months ago

It was easy for me to get the work done when I was at university but now that I have to study by correspondence I am having a hard time getting any studying done and it makes me hate studying.

I have got a national diploma at the moment. I decided not to carry on and get a bachelor’s degree when I was at university because I wanted to go do some real work. I am a practical kind of person and I prefer learning by working rather than just studying about things.

Most successful people in the world don’t have bachelor’s degrees. I think it is because they chose to actually do something with their lives rather than study.

Studying is the most direct route to wage slavery. People who have bachelor’s degrees tend to get stuck in the jobs that they studied for, for the rest of their lives. When you don’t have a qualification telling you what you are good at then you get to choose what you want to do in life and many people who didn’t make it into university end up finding creative and highly profitable ways of making a living.

People skills are more important than having a bachelor’s degree. If you suck up to the boss then you will get ahead in life. If you know how to manipulate people into liking you then you will have an easy time finding a job and an easy time keeping your job.

I still feel however that I should get a bachelor’s degree because it gives you a higher status in the eyes of other people. Even if you don’t earn that much money, having a degree will earn you a lot of respect.

I need to work around my inability to study on my own so that I can get a bachelor’s degree.
