Who Likes School

One of the best ways to make sure that you like school is to pick a degree you will enjoy pursuing. This means choosing your college career based on your interests and passions, rather than what people tell you is a good career choice.

For instance, when I was younger I wanted to be a writer more than anything. In fact, I knew I wanted to be a writer, and I told our guidance counselors that. They discouraged me, as did many other adults who had influence on my life, and as a result I lost interest in going to college after high school. When I decided to go to college after all four years later, I decided to pursue an English degree after all — and you know what, I loved every minute of school! I am almost certain I wouldn't have had I decided to pursue a degree I was less interested in.

Another example is someone who really enjoys cooking. If you like to cook enough that you think you could make your living doing it and still be perfectly happy, culinary arts degrees are usually pretty enjoyable programs. There are many culinary arts institutes available for you to choose from, and probably at least one exceptional cooking school in your area.

Whatever degree you choose to pursue, the key to liking school is pursuing something in which you have a genuine interest. You'll also make the best of your education this way, because you'll learn more when you are interested in the subject matter. So don't be afraid to pursue your passions!
