My oh so frustrating academic potential totally squandered

Post Reply New Topic

So... due to geography issues I just couldn't continue on to university, despite doing an Access course... but who cares, right? Like I ever had luck with damn education systems (in secondary school having 'mass' but absolutely no sciences, woo)... and apparently it expires within three years? Not totally confirmed, though. It's already been two years and a half too... but what am I to do? All alone like this... I could only finish the aforementioned course due to my ex, but since he left me it's gone from being a molehill to a mountain to climb if I wanted to go to uni... but who cares anyway? Not like I can even do neuroscience, my foremost interest, since none of the local colleges had more than one science subject in an Access course, and even then it was so rushed...

TLDR: I'm screwed either way, aren't I? Who cares that I already have a good knowledge of most social/sciences... who cares, not this society that's exclusively based on Who One Knows and not What... bleh. Eton being the prime example of f**kery... the whole cabinet is made of former pupils... ironically I even had sex with one once without even knowing, but whatever...

This website serves as a free math tutor. It allows you to train yourself to become good at math. I spent my entire life assuming that I was bad at math due to my upbringing and "education", and now I've gotten from college level prealgebra through precalculus in 5 months while working a fulltime job.

Other subject matter covered is relevant to premed and engineering. Basically, this website is a panacea for the plutocratic oligarchy of degree-based universities. You can use it to give yourself a better education for free than you'd ever be able to obtain through a degree program that covers the same content. Of course, you can't become a neuroscientist without a degree... They're free in Germany though. You can use Rosetta Stone to teach yourself German. All you need is time. There are also ways to get your hands on Rosetta Stone without having to pay hundreds of dollars, or euros, or whatever.
