And what is wrong with success? But of course, success is not "objective", you'll have to define it your yourself. But in college, nobody forces you to take part in cheating and that success-mindset you describe. YOU decide you cannot study without taking part in it, not college. YOU put that pressure on yourself by buying into this mindset (this sentence is probably invalid, but I hope the meaning is clear). Why should a bad grade in a voluntar math course be a stumbling stone for your future? I think you're not completely honest with yourself here.
And how are you going to earn a living? It is usus that most jobs for un- or lowqualified people get less pay than others jobs, that equals more working time, leaving less time for your personal goals. Realistically, you'd probably have more time for such things as getting basic skills in math while at college than in a low-paid job. |
