What's the reason for life if u don't have good educatio (1 Viewer)

[SnowWhite]

It's stupid but I feel I don't deserve living amymore. I was on my path to be an IT engineer but I somehow lost it and am studying a useless major with zero class now (Eng translation which everyone can probably do?)

Ik i'm close minded in many people's eyes
...
But i think it's only accaptable being a doctor/engineer/lawyer bc obly those are respected where i live. How can i be happy now?
Sorry for the rant,i rly have no one to talk to these days.

My situation is bit similar with my degree, but different about education. In my close relatives i'm actually only one who even is in university, all my relatives haven't even gone to high school and instead went to vocational school to get job and work. And the mood around me is that higher education is mostly useless and u will need to get solid job and work for money. So my choice of actually getting higher education is seen as lesser from the start. But what comes to my degree, I don't think it's best either, social politics. It will be hard to get job that responds to what i have studied, but I haven't lost my faith yet.

I don't think english translator is bad though, you can get involved in several different things like I have friend who wants to become translator for video games and that sounds pretty fun.

Honestly i agree high education is kinda useless,in cases people who start working full time right after high school could even do better financially. I only am worried about the social class and the respect that those names such as "doctor,engineer" blah blah would bring to me.

My father grew up in a a rural area with poor education. No one really got good jobs where he came from and people were more concerned about farming than education. But he worked hard, moved to a more economically developed country and earns well (not rich money, but a normal and stable income).

People may view you is higher respect if you are a doctor or an engineer (unfortunately, that's how the world works) but no one is going to treat you as someone in a lower social status if you don't have those jobs. So don't worry, getting a poor education or degree that you think is useless isn't the end of the world. There are endless opportunities out there for people to find. There are so many different jobs that come with translation and you could find yourself working anywhere from a lawyer's firm to doing free lance work.

Good luck <3333333333333333333

People can only live with what they’ve got.

I’m a law major but I have no plans of becoming a lawyer because I know it’s not cut out for me (even though it’s not impossible for me to become one), and as much as I admire doctors and engineers, those jobs are out of the question for me too.

Most people in my country are employed at companies, and I’m probably going to work for a company too in the future.

Having an average income is nothing to be ashamed of, seriously! Having a stable job surrounded by family and friends in a developed country, what more could you ask for? :P

Of course I want success with my career, everybody does, but I’ve already come to terms with myself that I’m not going to be part the so-called elite class.

Take a good look at your own abilities and appreciate them, learn to work with what you have at hand instead of regretting your life choices :)

Imagine what sort of workplace you want to work at in the future and what sort of job would suit your abilities. Focus on your future and not another individual’s. Strive to be the best version of yourself you can be. There are many career options other than those jobs you specified (you don’t have to limit yourself to translation)! Good luck~

THIS IS FREAKING LONG sksk SORRY

translaters can make really good money and do a lot, especially if the native language you speak isn't so common so there aren't already many translators for it

it depends on how you apply your self when looking for a job but you can really do a lot especially if you are good at live translations this is really useful

just speaking english doesn't make you a good translator, some people need a lot of time to switch back and forth or communicate the right idea with the right inflection and emotion in each language

it is a skill so if you really work hard at it you can do a lot i think

Thanks, this made me very hopeful if true....

Work as the ultimate goal or way to achieve happiness seems to be your premise. Second, it seems like you're looking for a job that is prestigious, rather than one you want, because you a passion for. If you were to become a doctor, but hated it you may have prestige, but would have noxious psychological consequences based on that. Back to my first point: work doesn't have to be the ultimate goal toward happiness. Many people can be lower-middle class and be happy with a job that is deemed low rent. Perhaps find meaning and/or happiness outside of work (i.e. Sensory pleasure, love, escapism, etc.).
