Do you feel like the time you spend studyins is really worth it?

Hello pietro, welcome to MYLOT world. what is going in your mind I can well perceive but you can not help for the system is like that and unless the system changes your ranting would bear no fruit. Like Latin there we needed to take up Sanskrit in our high School but to our relief it was optional. Hence instead of Sanskrit I took Civies and Economics. This is 26 years that I left my high school and now i am an associate professor in English Language and Linguistics. But whenever I think about those days I feel both happy and sad. And yes, the time I spent was worth it.

I understand what you mean, and that is the feeling of must of the students,I used to think when I was in high school that the trigonometry was a worth of time, because I don't nee it in my career neither in my life, because whyen I go shopping I only need know addition,subtract,mutiply,and divide and that's it,but the truth is that we don't finish our studies our salaries will be always lower to the others,I know you won't like to take that decision because in the future, you will see you partners whom didn't took that decision and stay in the school, having great jobs with excelent salaries and you still getting a salary of a high school student,I am telling you because is real,I am 36 years and going to enter to the university again, just to have a better salary.

I guess it just depends on what you are studying & just how important it will be to your future someday. I agree with you about Latin. I don't think anyone actually even speaks that anymore so I don't know why they are making you learn it.

Guess what 95% of our lessons at school would not be used at our future jobs. But even if that's the case, you know why going to school is still worth it? It's because while studying we pick up useful things that would help us in our jobs and even in our personal lives. And those things are not the lessons itself but the skills, attitudes and disciplines we get while we are studying. Some of my professors make us read articles and journals that we cannot barely understand because of the technicality of the terms. But despite that, we continue to read it again and again. Hoping we could grasp some information. We continue to disect each sentences even if we have no idea what it is all about. That is the attitude and discipline I'm talking about which you will not get anywhere but school. Good luck and enjoy school.

I believe that studying is very useful, especially in a subject that you really enjoy. When I was still a student, it was hard to realise how all this would be helpful for my future but now I see that at some point in your life you will need all the knowledge you have acquired. Latin might help you for example to understand the meaning of words that you use in your everyday life, since many of these words come from Latin. It might also give you a good basis in the future if you decide to learn other languages that are based on latin. Of course it's preferable to like the courses that you take as this will help you to perform better at them.

I feel like they push a lot of courses that are completely irrelevant to the real world anymore. The schools should be upping the math and english classes (I say english cause I'm in the US). A lot of people I am "friends" with on Facebook who have went to the local schools where I live and no college can't spell, can't use grammar or punctuation. It's sad. They appear to have such a low i
