Education? (What do you do?)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I regret to say that I only have a High School diploma, with no real plans to pursue further education. Due to intense laziness and some... rough times as a teenager, I posses neither the grades, nor the standardized test scores to enter a good college; never mind the whole financial aspect of that endeavor. However, if I were to enroll in an institution of higher education, the most plausible majors for me, considering my interests, would be history, archaeology, or biology. A degree in English would be a distant fourth, if only because I do not hold that major in particularly high regard compared to the others when it comes to job prospects, despite my love of writing. Ironically, my fifth choice for a major would be mathematics, despite my utter ineptitude at any field of mathematics more advanced or difficult than geometry.

Of course, my sub-par performance in mathematics could be chalked up to my teachers, all of whom failed in making the material they taught seem relevant to my life. Still, I'm not entirely sure if it's that, a genuine weakness in my mathematical capabilities, or both. In any case, it's a pretty big hurdle in regards to gaining a degree in any math-heavy field.

...

On a final note, I believe that years of exposure to the internet has literally sapped my intelligence. It's a miracle I can even type in complete sentences with (semi)proper grammar and spelling.

Thank you oh mighty America and your fair and humane rules



Almost going to the university, 4 months left
