Re: *sobs*
(Anonymous) 2014-08-27 03:27 am (UTC)(link)First and foremost, get a grip.
I'm older than you (30s) and even though I have an Associates' degree and a job, I still don't know what in the hell I want to be when I grow up. And despite my supposed accomplishments, I keep getting pressure from family and former professors to "continue my education" in a way that matches THEIR vision. But I'm taking it one day at a time, and am trying to fill my life with other things as well in the meantime.
(I'm not saying I don't intend to continue my education, but I also know my kind of role is unique and I may have more leeway when it comes to courses and training and better college degrees.)
People go back to school all the time. Sometimes, the education doesn't end. I know people 20, 30 years older than me who just got their Master's. Really. The fact that you're in school is not some sign you're a hopeless case.
You're only a useless, incompetent child if you believe you are. Seriously, get a grip. Why do you think you're useless, etc.? If you keep comparing yourself and your ambitions and happiness to other people's, you're going to be miserable. A degree is not a prize or an end goal. It's just a tool to help you along the way. Just live your life. Know what you want, and if you don't know what you really want, then figure it out and own the shit out of it. Learn to support yourself if you aren't yet, and roll with it. It can be a scary world out there, but it's not impossible to survive.
