    I graduated university with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. It was probably the most difficult thing I’ve done in my life but I learned a lot, not only about biology, but critical thinking and debating ideas.

    I had a hard time finding a job with such a general degree so unfortunately I needed to to back to college for a 2 year diploma necessary for a licenced job. College was a breeze after university.

    I eventually quit that licenced job and now work a basic job in manufacturing that requires only a high school education. It’s the most money I’ve ever made despite it being the easiest. Figure that out (hint: I’m in a union now).

    Despite not really needing my education for my job, I still feel like it has drastically improved my life. Ever since university, learning new things has been easy and calling out bullshit even easier.
