Why does everything have to be so difficult? Why can't I just take classes that directly correlate to my degree? Why do I have to spend (waste) money on classes such as speech, art, and (...I don't know) physics when I will be getting a degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography?
Now, I understand certain prerequisites are important. For example, it makes sense that I need anatomy and physiology because I will be working with the human body. However, why do I need to take a history class, or even an English class, when I literally just took one in high school?
It isn't that I don't want to learn, I do. I promise, I am eager to learn -- about my specific trade! Not things that do not directly correlate to said trade.
Getting an education has become so complicated. I just want to learn how to be an ultrasound technician. I don't want to pay buckets of money for tuition and "fees."
By the way, what even are "fees?"
I do not want to spend my very valuable time and money in and on school. I either don't understand what I am learning, or I am not using what I'm learning.
I know a nice majority of y'all don't even go to class, and then wing it and get lucky on the final. Or you cheat.
So? What's the point?
I know, I should take the privilege of my education with a smile, and just be happy and feel grateful I can go to school. As crazy and like "yeah sure" as it sounds, I am. I am happy and grateful.
I know it's a privilege.
It just feels so counterproductive, sometimes. You know?
I want to learn. I want to learn my skill, and go and make money and live my life. I do not like school. I do not want to spend extra time learning about things that do not pertain to my career.
That's what hobbies are for. I want to choose my hobbies, and I don't mean "choose" by choosing which art I take.
School isn't for everyone. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
The only reason I am in school is because it is the fastest and (ironically) the easiest way to the life I want to live.
Anyway, to recap. I hate physics, and I wish there was a faster way to my career without having to sit through that class every Monday and Wednesday.
If I could petition to not have useless prerequisites, then I would, but I can't.
So, I wrote this episode of "thoughts I have in physics." in physics.
Thank you for watching.
