College: Is it really necessary?

[Xenos]

I understand you Xise, for having that feeling where post-secondary education seems very artificial and pointless sometimes.

I am 21 as well, and I'm currently in my 4th year studying in the health-sciences field.
College/University and such... they seem like a double edged sword to me. It offers advantages where you enable yourself to "fit" into society and have the credentials for it. However, becoming part of that system doesn't feel spiritually/emotionally/mentally good at all. Neither does it actually yield you a job for sure, the way the economy and such has changed now really makes this "traditional" education system dysfunctional.
Before entering university, I was so spiritually/mentally "awake" with the people around me and the surroundings. But being taught to think in a certain way for 3 years certainly takes a toll, I've lost many abilities. It's not that bad though I guess since learning about cellular life and chemistry really highlights the principles and fractals of oneness that nature perfectly symbolizes. I try to utilize my summer breaks to recharge my spirits

Ultimately though, I take it as a learning process. I realized that to sustain myself in this physical 3-D world and my loved ones, it was best for me to enter university and receive the credentials (in my circumstances). Its a catalyst for me as well, sometimes you have to face the things you hate and make it become a part of you to conquer it. Also, I do have intentions on entering the medical profession to radiate the love and light that the world and LOO has taught me.

Its ones choice after all. Simply listen to your heart and see where it takes you. And when I mean listen, listen in the absence of bias and thoughts.
Meditation is best for that stuff
