    Like I said, my view on this isn't the best and it won't be for a while, so I don't know.

    Thing is, this isn't always visible to everyone. I would just wish there would be other ways but I don't know, like, instead of going to a Uni go to a company a pay them to teach you instead. I think this is kinda possible but I have no idea if this happens in a lot of places, which I'm sure it doesn't, and it's probably a lot more harder to pay this, depending on the company you are of course, and I have no idea on what you would and wouldn't do because of the company's reputation.
    My company would pay me to take courses if it had to do with my field of work. I didn't take them up on it at the time though because I was already working a ton and still trying to be an irresponsible (yet really responsible) young 20's guy.

    I think I have potential for a lot of stuff but I think I lack the motivation to go look or the needs to look, I don't know.

    Well, you're only one class off, so I'd assume that you'll be quite alright, and yeah, I agree with you, even though I don't know you, I would guess most people have potential, but just lack motivation.

    Actually, it's more like 3. Geometry, Philosophy and Portuguese. I didn't study anything, so go figure, I'm actually surprised I didn't failed any year lol.

    Either way, yeah, I think most people of our age just lack motivation, I did! But it just strikes me as odd as to why we have a lack of motivation. Maybe we expect too much and lose confidence or the motivation to do something because it's too hard.

    Maybe, it's Society, maybe the individual, hell, I have no idea..

    This sucks even more for me because I have literally no one, I know no one, I have 0 contacts and I just don't know how I would even get them since I doubt I'll ever go to Uni.

    Well, I know we are young but I, atleast me, feel like I need to put my life straight, yes, at this young age I think like that, I don't think there isn't much choice, not for me, since my family is rather poor, not really poor, I guess we're lucky tbh compared to a lot of people out there, but I don't know.

    I just feel like I have to do something and I don't know what, and I just want to find out that something as fast as possible since I'm sure it'll bring me happiness, which is more important for me than anything else.
    Believe me when I say you are just like many others and things will become clearer over time.

    Hell, I'm 32 years old now, extremely sick, living off the government (because of my health), and have to live with my sister and her family because of all these things. I wake up each day wondering how I'll ever turn my life around and that's with blissfully ignoring that I'm soon to have another $200,000 to $300,000 in medical bills.

    I don't know what causes it, and I don't know about you, but my lack of motivation comes from my fear of failure and my quick to give up attitude.

    I hope so, I see that happening but I would just like for that to happen, like soon...

    And that sucks, that's a lot... :s

    It's situations like this that I wish the U.S. gave more support to people who need it. You seem to be a smart guy though and while (like everyone else in here) I haven't met you, my money is on you doing quite well.

    I just feel bored about it. I hate it because some people don't really care. Too many people that teachers have to teach(30 students per class, big turn off for me). Teachers not caring.

    So yeah, I don't know, I just wish that my education had been given by one person and that person teaching only me, but I doubt that would have been healthy for me since I wouldn't, supposedly, have social contact with others I guess.

    Either.

    Anything that would have helped me be better at my job or at least had some relevance to my job. I could have taken math courses, English courses, different computer courses (not computer programming), and a few other fields. I wouldn't have been able to get them to pay for my full degree, but they would have paid for enough that I wouldn't have too much debt had I finished it off on my own.

    If it was like that, then everyone would be a teacher. There's not enough people or enough money in the world to do that, unfortunately.

    So having a massive nervous breakdown helped with that? HOORAY! I'll be fine!
