Hi really quick:

1. After high school I got great job as a programmer, but my family probably won't ,,survive" If I don't go on university . So I find some easy looking field of study which has something to do with computers. I found one which doesn't take me much time. From start me and all other students studying this field new that this field of study wasn't good quality, but it cost nothing and I was relatively easy. Anyway most of stayed because of our families/employers/society rules, which are not good reasons in my opinion.

After almost two years I quit job as programmer because I felt that computers are not for me and my real passion is Personal Development. I still go to school, but now I feel is totally pointless for me to spend my energy and time because:

1. It is not aligned with identity I want to have. When I tell people what I study they mark me as programmer/computer guys and I have to explain them that I am not into this no more.

2. I want to help people make more conscious choices and part of it is choosing right kind of study. Study school which brings me no useful knowledge at all and study only to satisfy family, doesn't feels to me like the right choice.

3. It doesn't help with helping people at all.

My parents and family have the vision that I will find job and some employers still look at what kind of school you have. Plus people in general look at what school do you have in their opinion. There are few this kind of people BUT I don't want to have job, I want to help people make more conscious choice, I don't want to spend with people which look at what I studied and not what I really know. I want to study NLP, Hypnosis, Time Line Therapy and I want to learn it from the best people of world. I don't need school to help people I need knownledge/practice/experience and few other qualities of course to help people but in my area schools doesn't bring this qualities.

Only reason I am still in school is because of my family.
