thus if you live particularly in the usa, you might want to read:
John Taylor Gatto - Challenging the Myths of Modern Schooling
Quite an eye-opener, into why & how most current populations behave 'brainwashed, & dumbed-down'.
(btw, was 1st. schooled in Europe, & on emigrating I was shocked where in vocabulary, math, science, & pe. american classmates were.)
And 'formal'-educ. in uni is often more problematic, as far as ego.
Beyond that tragic state of affairs, lies the hope that you can remember:
1. to continue... on-target, asking more detailed questions...
2. Observe problems, from the advantage of regarding them as puzzles, & challenges to be solved
3. Start from your own hypotheses, gathering awarenesses & materials for your own experiments; and
4. Most important, exercise caution re 'conclusions': too many false 'links' formed, often then are assumed as 'causes', only to turn out erroneous & misleading. - Take full advantage of keeping your own mind OPEN
Most important, resuscitate
your passion of learning... we were all conceived & born to enjoy!! just this. Here's the thing: Simply explore your options & choices, & passionately chose a FUN path in a self-directed way towards a fruitful endeavor. What do you want to do, really?
and a grad-degree?, no that ain't necessary, rest assured; as many people have proven. Many productively contribute, & enjoy peace of mind, doing what he & she loves... the best to you!
