What's the point of school/work

I'm not working til I'm 60, that's for sure.

I won't do it. Whatever your dreams are, don't ditch them. If you wanna be a pro gamer, or a rockstar, don't give up, even if your in your 40's.

I'm 21, and I refuse to fall in line with what people call "reality" and work a crappy job for 30 years because it's the "only way" to get by in society. Do what you want. Then you will have no regrets cause atleast you never gave up your dreams because someone else told you it can't happen.

I agree. get a job you love and you will never work a day in your life. That guy who said stop being so selfish is just the kinda guy I hate. Trying to make people feel like they owe everyone else something. Well I say screw you! Its a free world and I will do what I damn well please.

If you call working for half your life "balance", then do it. I won't.

That's the spirit pal! born free yet we spend our whole lives working for the man. Brainkiller05

Yea, as soon as you start earning a bit more money some agency charges you more tax or something. Doesn't exactly make working seem good. 

To get a decent job, I need to go to school.kingdre

One of my dreams is to travel around the world. To do that, I need money. To make money, I need a job. To get a decent job, I need to go to school. Everything is connected.kingdre

You can travel around the world working for minimum wage a few years. You can work in the country you're staying in, stay in hostels, meet local people, etc. Look at what the GDP of most countries is. If you save up $10,000 US, you're set. Traveling the world with way more more money than you need is a detriment, in my opinion. You'll almost always end up confining yourself to a hotel and won't end up seeing anything of substance.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you pay for things like electricity, water, food and all the other daily necessities?

To answer your question, school/work serves the same purpose as marriage. It's a tool that keeps our economy going. The government wants us to go to school. Get a job and make money. Then get married, have kids, and spend all our money. yucky_straw

I wish you the best of luck.

But you sound like one of my old highschool buddys who "didn't want to be part of the rat race" and "just wanted have fun" instead of going to college (like I did) and earning a degree. Last time I saw him was about 1yr ago. He was my waiter at an Italian restuaran when the wife & I were having a typical Firday night dinner.

Society today is dependent on economy. Economy is dependent on commercialism. Commercialism is dependent on consumers. That is why kids grow up wanting to be something or someone they are not. Because TV and adverts, everywhere you look, tell kids and people that you need this product to be anyone important, or you need to act this way, to be anyone important. And because we are born with an ego, everyone wants to be someone. Everyone wants to be important.

 By default life is absolutely meaningless. Its a blank canvas. The only reason things are meaningful is because we make them meaningful. Its not about ditching dreams and working until you are 60. Its about defining whats important and meaningful to YOU, and the experience you have in doing so. To assume that someone isnt happy or living life to its fullest because of how they live it is just niave.
