Why I'm not going to leave school, even though I don't like

At the beginning of the year, I wrote in one of the blogs that I wanted to drop out of school, but today I even want to stay in school and do at least one doctorate. What has changed? 


Šola

Let me start at the beginning. I've always disliked school. I remember that in the eighth or ninth grade, I even asked my parents if, on condition that I managed to make some bizarre amount of money by the end of the 9th grade, I could not attend high school.  


Of course, I didn't earn any money, and so I went on to high school. 

I didn't like going to school for a number of reasons, but for me, the biggest was that I wanted to be extremely rich in my life, so I don't think school can help me with that. We don't learn about how to make and manage a lot of money in school, but if we are already learning about entrepreneurship, by the way, I am in a high school of economics, we talk about it most in the context of becoming a secretary, working at an insurance company or working at a bank. My opinion is that the school exists to create workers, and they work for a wage. 


In that blog, I finally asked the question, where is the bigger difference in the necessary knowledge, between the one who earns €1,000 and the one who earns €4,000 per month, or between the one who earns €4,000 per month and the one who makes billions? 


What has changed? 

Does going to school limit me from achieving my other goals?  

Maybe a little, but if something is really my goal, I will achieve it despite minor obstacles. 


I can't really find a single good argument against studying. When I occasionally talk to my classmates or peers about whether they will go to study or not, those who are undecided usually do not have a concrete answer or say that they are not interested in studying. 


My answer to that, however, would be as follows. 

We have the option of going to school for free and also studying for free(to make no mistake, we pay for it later through taxes, but once we start studying, we don't need to take out debt), we have an opportunity that maybe somewhere else they don't have, why not take advantage of it. And even if we don't like going to school.  


That's why I've set myself the goal of trying to do at least one PhD, if it will benefit me I don't know yet, but I'll at least take advantage of every option I have. 

At least, I can meet people along the way that I can work with, throughout my life.
