I didnt find out the game was on hard mode until the last semester of my undergrad.
Imagine finding out in your 30s.
Imagine being told in your 30s that the game probably is on hard mode, but because you've somehow managed to beat a few bosses it can't actually be that much harder than easy mode so they're not going to find out for sure whether that is the case.
I DID find out in my 30s.
Yeah, but can you imagine it?
tries hard to concentrate on imagining own past ..kinda? 🤷
when my therapist asks what I ate for breakfast
I found out at 29
After I dropped out of college twice of course
But hey, I can drive a forklift like a god at this point
Who needs a degree and debt when you can be forklift certified and make money?
Tbh money isnt the main reason I went to college. There are, as you said, other ways to make money. i.e I was an insurance agent. If I bothered to go back, I could very easily make 100k a year. All off of experience and the 3 months of studying for the licensing exams and no degree required. But thats not what I actually want to do. College basically allowed me to do what I actually want to do AND live comfortably doing so.
Straight up
I really wanted to become a teacher
But now I drive a forklift
Yeah I make like $30 an hour now but it's simply okay. I would have preferred becoming a teacher.
