I spent my 20s breaking my back crawling through nasty-ass attics and crawlspaces, and now have a torn shoulder rotator cuff at 41. I wish I could have gone to school instead.
Spending your 20s in school is the best thing that could happen to you. You get to make friends and be with them all the time. Being a student is the best part of many's life
Eh, it certainly can be, but many of us could barely afford it, so we had to spend all our free time working. I woke up at 2am Tuesday through Saturday to work at FedEx before class, and would often have lectures until 8pm, since I was double majoring to get everything I could out of the 4 years of tuition payments. Any time I had between classes was spent studying, doing homework, or trying to catch a nap so I didn't fall asleep in class. I barely even had acquaintances when I graduated, much less friends. I managed to graduate without loans, though! Too bad I still didn't end up using either of my bachelors degrees, or the masters I got afterward...
I'm sorry school isn't free in your country. We fought for it in france, and we are currently losing it. Now we both need to find ways to restore democracy in our country
