First World Problems Much? Part 2

[expired_sanity]

Over the past year or so my motto has been "I just want to get out there and live!" Today I pulled out my chemistry textbook and hunted relentlessly for my physics textbook, researched gravity for a good hour or so (to be fair I started just to answer a couple of questions I had for possible theories I have about the Blessing on Torchwood, but I

I don't know what you're currently studying, so it's hard to advise you. I will tell you that a degree in a discipline like physics will take you places you'd never suspect in the working world, but you said you felt inadequate and stupid while doing it, so that may not be the direction in which to go.

If you feel competent and at ease in engineering, I'd go in that direction. There are lots of careers in engineering.

Aside from the professions of law and medicine, there is little one can gain career-wise from a university education. But it's still better to have one than not, because a college degree proves to prospective employers that you have the discipline, fortitude and foresight to set a goal and do what needs to be done to achieve that goal, in this case the goal being a college degree. That's why most people with college degrees make a good $1 million more in the course of their work life than those who don't.
