I do not want to do what is "best" for me
I do not want a formal education if it means sitting in a boring classroom studying a subject for four months that I could easily master in two. I do not want a bachelor's degree. What good will it do me? By the time I'm done with it I'll need a master's to accomplish anything. That's another two to four years of education beyond what I'm already looking at. I do not wish to accomplish more than my parents. If I manage to accomplish as much as they have I'll be thrilled. I have not need of a $300,000 per year combined income. We're doing just fine on $24,000. At this point I just want to skip ahead six years & start my family. I don't want to be stuck in a classroom with people who don't have enough brain cells to "learn" on their own. It's 23:48 & I'm wide awake. Why should I not be able to work at night doing something I love? I don't care if I earn $10/hr the rest of my life. Hell, I'll take less. I don't want a forty hour per week job. I need something that's part-time, about twenty hours. That's it. I don't really want more. Why is this considered so horrible? Oh & if anyone knows of a completely online calc two course, please dear god let me know. I cannot attempt to sit thru another four months of classroom time for something I really only need to take the final in.
