High school blows ...

It was a huge waste of time, unproductive, and useless so I'm pleased to not go back to those worthless buildings ...

I was really happy when I finished it and university has been very nice so far, despite beeing a bit too demanding sometimes. Now I'm close to finish my graduation in electric engeineering and I plan to get master's degree / doctorade in the future.

That liar :O

Then I'm not exactly doing College. What I'll do is like an extra year of highschool for inmigrants. That way, I'm ready for how University works in the country.

if we`re talking about standard education, like High School and Junior High, I was so glad. Even more so when I started Uni. After I started Uni, I released high school and below were like a bubble, cut off from the rest of the world. I felt like I was really living afterward. High school and below were so lame now that I think about it.

Your better years are just ahead ; )

Forget about it ... 

Just start University directly otherwise you might end up at a disadvantage since some programs have a noticeable increase in difficulty from senior high school courses to university freshmen courses ...

I was really happy at first, but then I started university which turned out to be 100 times harder and more stressful. Now I miss school days when I found all subjects easy and it only took me hours to prepare for exams. Things would have probably been a lot better had I not gone to medical school though.

tldr: School sucks, but university sucks way more.

But that's why I'm doing "College". The level of education from South America to Canada is probably very different and difficult, so to be on track of the university it would be helpful to do one year of college.

It's not like I can change my mind now. It's already paid.

@Bold Oh shucks ...

Well you could of at least made sure that some of the credits from college will transfer over to university so that you could make it worthwhile ...

The spike in difficulty is not that bad and you'll eventually be able to cope with it plus it's variable according to specific disciplines ...

Was more than happy that high school was over, while my last year was actually my best in terms of grades. My old friend group was falling apart, had absolutely no idea what I was going to do after high school was over and I was going through a lot of teenage angst among some other things. Also after 12 years of the same routine I was pretty much done.

I'm in university now and things are good although tough at times but I would never dream about going back.

I agree, each experience is different and yes a general analysis is useful but you don't have to put 4 years worth of time into an analysis. It costs $500 for a business license as opposed to $30,000 - $50,000 for an MBA, which someone would most likely be paying back for a long time considering 9/10 times people who earn an MBA become glorified bean counters and are employed (I stress the word employed) by someone for much less  than they are worth. That's what a piece of paper (certificate) will get you most of the time. People have amazing capabilities but they are held back by the way certain things in life make people think and I think school is one of those things.

Opening up a business may not replace the knowledge learned throught the 4 year course of an MBA (I think its arguable) but you will learn MUCH faster because you actually go through the process.

Warren Buffett is a good example of a self-made billionaire (77% of all billionaires are self-made). His story is awesome and definitely someone I would recommend to look up to. The fact that 77% of all billionaires are self-made (Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates come to mind) just proves how much school is replaceable by the drive, motivation and IDEAS that have encapsulated each and every sector or industry.

And again, I'm not saying don't educate yourself, do it as much as possible, read lots of books. I try to read about a book a day, some books take me about 2 days or so to get through but have a selection of about 100 books to just go back and read every now and then. Take interest in your interests, put your time in and do your work, not someone else's. Talk to lots of people, it sounds stupid when you think about it but I don't mean jst go up to random people and start talking to them I mean don't be afraid to talk to people who are wealthier than one is. You will only learn and this is the best way to learn. To find mentors who have gone through life and become rich is seriously invaluable. Or you could sit in a classroom with 50 other people listening to lectures for 6 hours.

You do not need to go to school to learn about micro-economics or to build organization skills or to plan your life. You know what you want to do in life, school isn't going to organize it or show you how to organize it for you. If you know your interests then go after them, what does that specific field need and how can you improve on it? Introduce it to the world, embrace the fear of the unkown, you will only grow as a person.

Who knows, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about but I've built myself up to a pretty comfortable position and I owe zero of that success to school.
