Building a career 🍎🏫
Since we grew up, we assisted at primary school, then when we are young to high school, in our early adult life, we attend college and if we want some master's degrees, all of these to ensure a well-paid career that allows us to carry a good lifestyle to face our future.
We spend an average of 20 years attending regular classes with the promise of developing a good career and a bright future; our parents and teachers taught us that if we got good grades and obeyed the teacher's orders, we would be directed to be successful.
The school and family taught to abide by the orders without questioning, and the idea of respect was transmuted into obedience and quietude. During my school days and my first years of high school, I always followed the rules without hesitation; that way, I avoided problems but grew up without individual thinking.
Nowadays, most of the knowledge I received during my regular education is useless, obsolete, and worthless in the current market.
Critical thinking, conflict resolution, soft aptitudes, Office skills, and English are more valuable nowadays than religion, geography, or political science. Badly, the educational system still needs to catch up on this error.
My high school and college promotions mates aren't successful entrepreneurs or highlighted CEOs, even though I knew some brilliant minds inside classrooms; the smartest guys are employees, while the regular students with better soft skills have built better careers.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that classes are a waste of time. Suppose you want to attend and take advantage of all the educational system's content. In that case, you can leverage your chances compared to other people who can't afford the cost of attending a 'prestigious' university. The contacts you will make will help if you do the correct movements.
As long as you prefer to study on your resources or do precisely how our parents and grandparents did, take into account that knowledge is constantly changing, the world in which we live is evolving day after day, and that having proper thinking can solve you from more problems than knowing grammatical rules.
