RE: Our Broken Education System, My Opinions On The Current State of Education In The United States

in #life8 years ago

Yea, I placed a lot of time into playing guitar as I was growing up and didn't focus on all that 'get a job' stuff I'd inevitably be facing later on in life. Don't really regret it. Life is what you make it when you get through all of that. It was a great way to learn the basics, but I really found that my curiosity for the world only took off after I finished school. Ever since then, I've just learnt things from doing jobs, taking up courses to get jobs, surfing google and learning about stuff from friends. Glad an opportunity like Steemit has arisen in that case. We can write whatever we want, and someone else all the way over the other side of the world can give support instantly. So rad!

These are some of the experiences our schooling system isnt going to teach people, but are just as important. My dad once gave me $500 and let me trade on the stock market and I learned more with that 500 than I learned in some of my other classes.
