School has destroyed all the interests I had

Hi.

So I’ve been thinking recently about my childhood. When I was a kid I wanted to become a builder, an inventor, a soldier, a sailor, or an archeologist.
After 8 years in Highschool, 3 years in College, nothing of that curiosity remains. My brain is just distracted by video games, Facebook and other useless things that keep my mind asleep.
I’ve no idea what to do with my f~~~ing life.

I hate schools. People here are so blind, boring and their path is already fixed.
I don’t want that, but I’ve no idea how.

I’m afraid of taking action and risks. I want to learn something more useful than coding, accounting or gender studies (lol).
Still in my father house. I’m 22. no degree except the one you get before uni (idk the name in English)

The thing I enjoyed the most when I was a teen was working as in construction. I think I’ll go for that. Maybe in house painting. Or in gardening.
I think if I’m going to school once again I’m gonna throw up.

F~~~ that.

Take a week off. Go into the woods (through national park, some remote area, etc.) Live there for a week. Take whatever gear and food you need, but not much.

Spend time thinking, being quiet, and fasting. It will hurt, but its okay. The goal is to “purify” yourself of any internal and external distractions so that when you decide to make a decision you as a whole will be “clearer”.

Will you find your priorities? Maybe, maybe not. But you will have a clear sense of being able to define both yourself and your surrounding environment. And that is what you need: The ability to both be defined and to define.

Don’t be afraid.

Maybe I should do the same as Henry David Thoreau, the author of “Walden; or, Life in the Woods”.
Finding peace of mind in the silence and the hard work.
Instead of blinding myself with porn and my smartphone.

All your answers make me realize that from a very young age, an age of uncertainty, we are supposed to find the path that we will follow for the rest of our lives.
How the f~~~ a 16 years old person can know that.

The fear of taking actions is keeping me inactive.
I have to work on that.
Thanks MGTOWs 🙂

I'm bad at finding signature. So here is my signature.

So far as employment goes, blue collar is always nice, and there’s always need for skilled tradesmen.

So far as school goes? It’s bulls~~~. They exist to program you with whatever the herd wants you to think, to crush you down until you blend in with the herd. School is about brainwashing. They don’t teach you, they don’t show you how to learn and solve problems, they teach you how to answer A, B, C, or D to their questions. They don’t show you how to use your brain, critical thinking, ect.

Need proof? Look at all the dumb f~~~ feminists running around. They don’t care if A, B, C, and D are all false, they’ve been told that C is the right answer even though it has no basis in fact or reality.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

School sucks. I went to engineering school and got my EE degree. The vast majority of the classes were not related to engineering and were totally based on professors opinions and bull s~~~. I think I would have been better off as electrician working a trade. Working with electricity is exciting and challenging, I would recommend it.

They use those bucket trucks now. Any state bordering the Gulf of Mexico uses the hell out of those guys. Unlimited OT after each hurricane (in any state).

I have felt as you have many times Javelin. What helps me daily is acknowledging that our standard of living is far higher than that of the caveman – where everyday a caveman had to wake up and go hunting for food for a partner and tribe of pre-contraception children, day-in, day-out with little in the way of ‘entertainment’. What a f~~~ing grind!
.

.
Our standard of living is also far higher than medieval times thanks to a temporary ‘fossil-fuel-fiesta’, a brief epoch in time which affords modern man rapid transportation, a diverse diet, water from a tap, contraception (child-free sex if so desired), warm showers, internet, entertainment, clean clothes, medications etc –
.

.
Studies suggest that an energy resource like oil gives modern mankind the equivalent of 22 billion energy ‘slaves’. To quote geologist Colin Campbell –

“It was as if oil provided us with an army of unpaid and unfed slaves to do our work for us. It has been calculated that a drop of oil, weighing one gram, yields 10,000 calories of energy, which is the equivalent of one day’s hard human labour. In other words, today’s oil production is equivalent in energy terms to the work of 22 billion slaves.”

Put in these terms, these are the best of times in terms of living standards and it could all be downhill from about 2040. With that in mind I enjoy everything TODAY has to offer, knowing I won’t be around to witness society’s eventual return to medieval standards of living. Even better yet, in the world of TODAY you have the freedom to be MGTOW and not have to feed a partner and tribe of kids. MGTOW for the win!

I’ve trained and re-trained over the years, trying to get a high-paying job that uses my smarts. But no matter the courses, or the certifications, employers only cared about experience. Quite a blow when you’ve spent thousands on IT certs and courses.
But the most interesting part? A small investment to get a truck licence and doing some physical jobs, and I’m earning more now working on a wharf than I would in IT (which doesn’t pay s~~~ here). I too was sold the myth that only scholarly, academic careers are worth pursuing. Trades and skilled labour always have a future.
Just avoid retail…

I could not f~~~ing handle school. It was by far the WORST experience of my entire life. I barely graduated high school because I STOPPED CARING. I knew that I wasn’t going to college as I had already started my own business by the time I was 16. I just skated by in my entire last year, making B’s and C’s rather than my usual A’s.

After I graduated, my mom insisted that I go to college but I refused. I just got out of that hellhole. I certainly had NO desire to go back. I quite possibly would have slit my wrists had I been forced to go to college. I’m not joking. Thankfully I was already up and running and making more money than most college graduates by the time I graduated high school.

I almost dropped out because I wanted to invest more time in my business. Looking back I wish I had. Had I dropped out at 16, I would have been able to buy my house two years earlier and saved myself about $75,000. F~~~ school. Those c~~~~~~~~~s can eat s~~~ and die! If my business ever goes t~~~ up (unlikely, but s~~~ can happen) I’d pursue a career in sales or in a trade.

But to be honest with you, I just can’t follow orders or go along with the rest of the ducks. I live life MY OWN WAY. I always have. I really don’t think I could work for somebody else. F~~~, I’d rather flip s~~~ on Craigslist. I’ve made $5,000/month flipping s~~~ on Craigslist before. It’s hard work, but a hell of a lot better than most jobs.

It doesn’t change when you get older either. The truth is, and you are probably already seeing this, when looking around at the world and the people who make it you will find that nobody really understands anything.

Some people are able to define themselves more than others, in their own lives and how the world around them is to be understood, but that is all it is: definition. And from definition we find some level of clarity, and with clarity a form of truth as if “looking through a glass darkly”.

What we face, and what I mean by “we” is “our generation” (because I am assuming you are in your twenties, like me), is fundamentally one thing and one thing only: Darkness. It is not our brother or sister, no matter how convincing their application of “force” maybe, but rather fear, uncertainty and a helpless rage
beginning to embody our generation.

And you know what I think, as a member of our generation? So what, f~~~ it…let it come because it will either destroy us and alleviate all our problems; or it will be the fertile ground from which will rise a generation of greatness without equal. And why as to all this? Because we have something, an enemy far greater than our “father generations” have ever had: pure emptiness. It is this enemy, I believe, that will give us a victory, because if we…or better yet when we…over come this the world will be ours.

This “darkness”…it will be the soil for a new empire.

Stop using facebook for f~~~ sake!

Lift some weights.
Eat some steak.
Then have a cigar and thank god you have 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one.

You’re 22 and healthy.
The world is your oyster!

School was a huge waste of time. Bullying from classmates, teachers and then a bunch more at home. Taught me very little, and instilled more fear and lack of confidence. All of this produces a better slave and shots down a rebel within you. After all the system relies on obedient slave work force. Most of the jobs after academia suck. So why even waste time with school?

And the interesting part is that there aren’t too many self made millionaires that graduate Universities. Another thing is, why don’t school teach students about finance and how to start businesses? The system doesn’t want competition, as it is set up in a way to serve the masters on top. Hence you don’t get the quality education and you are not taught to think critically, just memorize and regurgitate a bunch of random s~~~ that nobody will need in a near future as robots and cheap labor is taking over.

Learn a trade or get your IT certifications!

That’s what I’m doing. I’m currently studying HTLM5 and the creation of Mobile Apps,
Designing Effective Websites and I’m looking into mastering Python.
That’s why I haven’t had time to produce as many Mgtow videos as I’d like.

[foghornleghornParticipant 3449]

I would suggest reading a book called The Shallows. Basically talks about how the way we absorb media and news has changed and actually affected the way we think and behave. Oddly enough you can get back your creative side and your interests by simply switching a lot of the things you outlined off.

As an addon to this – you can do these things fairly cheap these days through online courses and videos.

Pluralsight and Udemy are couple of resources that you can use to get started. They have a ton of courses on IT, mobile development, cloud development, DevOps etc. Heck Pluralsight even have courses on game development if that interests you.
