Back To School... Again???

School can be a bitch. It's sometimes a hellhole with projects and assignments and we just can't wait to get out of that. 

It can be fun as well, with friends activities funny lecturers etc.. but back to school again for the second time? That in itself could be a bit intimidating. Apart from being almost a decade older(or more) than everyone else, your brain doesn't work the way it used to.
Yeah just imagine that times 21302103812 when you're older


It also costs as much as 2193081328 houses in 3rd world countries, especially if you're an international student. (read debt debt debt debt debt....)

Despite all that however, if you can, you probably should consider getting a degree. Or Masters. Or Phd. Why? Why would anyone want to go through that torture again?

Enough said.


Kidding. Its not that bad BUT


Having worked random jobs here and there after leaving school with just a HSC equivalent I realised a few things:

  • Unless you're crazy talented and making money from it, your options are limited. Veeeerrrrrry limited
  • Unless you're an entrepreneur or have rich parents, you get paid minimum wage
  • Your bosses will probably take advantage of the fact that you've got no qualifications to speak of and pay the bare minimum, especially in countries with no minimum wage laws. 
  • cert < diploma < degree < masters < phd

So back to school? Well worth it I'd say. I'd rather go through all that and have a bit more room to move career wise than to be stuck at the bottom for the rest of my life.  Adjusting takes a bit of time but with a bit of effort it's not that bad.
