REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT GO TO SCHOOL.

                             


I do not mean to be impudent however i will be incisive.

From the time we where born,they made us understand that school 
 was the right thing to do.I had been led to believe(like most of you) that institutionalized education  was preparation for life.It is not.
We scaled through the primary school impeccably, as most of us topped our class.Getting to the secondary school was fun because we grew wise a bit and wiser at the senior secondary level.



That would have been the point to halt and have a rethink about where to plant the next seed and how to cultivate it properly to yield proper harvest. That is, pursue other alternatives,like learning about things that interest you( ie: self education) because that would be infinitely more important than spending valuable time in the higher institution being clueless as to what you really want in life.

  But unfortunately,we acquiesced to write the so called WAEC/JAMB.Some where lucky to go through at first attempt while others tried endlessly.


Eventually,one gets admission to the university to study a course he/she is totally clueless about.

We Subsequently have to  struggle with the course for the next 4  to 5years.The struggling include,
harsh lecturers who feel they are Demi gods,poor environment for learning,low finances in some cases,and above all the peer pressure which differs according to gender.Entangled in these challenges,one eventually graduates.

THE REASONS WHY ,

1) SMART PEOPLE ARE SOMEWHERE ELSE-
   Going to school doesn't mean you are smart,smart people are doing something better.
   Ask bill Gates.

2) SCHOOL MAY ERODE YOU OF YOUR NATURAL ABILITIES
   The Stress involved may not allow you discover yourself 

3) MOST LECTURERS ARE OFTEN CLUELESS

4) YOU WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT GET YOUR DREAM JOB

5) THERE ARE ALREADY TOO MANY B.SC/M.SC WITHOUT JOBS.

6) THE MONEY SPENT ON FEE COULD BE DIVERTED TO A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

7) TEACHING IS MOVING ONLINE.

8) IT NARROWS YOUR OPTIONS IN LIFE.

9)  GRADUATE SCHOOLS IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE.

10) THERE IS NO SATISFACTION BECAUSE YOU WORK FOR THE PAY,NOT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO WORK.


MY FINAL THOUGHTS,

True learning takes place when you perceive a need ,when you have a void that needs to be filled,
when you become curious about something.In the absence  of a felt need,it is human nature to
perceive any new information(school) to be irrelevant or forced upon us, in which case we categorize it as
useless and subconsciously throw it away.Do you really use even 5% of what you learned in school today???

In my opinion,it is imperative that one figures out exactly what suits you and gives inner joy.Money will surely
come from that.
Finding ones self is easier said than done ,which is why you may choose to avoid school totally and spend more time exploring the unknown.
If you are in school,fine.Just be aware of the fact that correlating success with a university degree is a big mistake.
