RE: ADSactly Life - 5 Interesting Alternatives to College

in #life6 years ago

Thank you for your comment, it's a very interesting one. I understand where you're coming from. In my country too, there is still a big culture around formal education and getting a "real" job such as lawyer or doctor, and while that is the right course of action for some, it also can lead to a lot of unhappiness. There are so many people who would be happy in a more creative job, but choose to go t college instead and end up miserable.
Again, I'm not saying nobody should go to college, but that young people should have more freedom to find what is right for them and have just as much encouragement in pursuing a job as a carpenter as they would in becoming a lawyer.

What we do with pleasure and with a satisfied heart, we probably do better.

Very true. It seems to me that a good teacher ought to encourage the student to find what makes him/her happy because that will ultimately lead to a better tomorrow, if everyone is doing a job they love. :)
