seriously?!

everyone goes through this process of trying to figure out what they want to do in their future.
especially school leavers,
because you (apparently) need to get your shit together
and decide what you want to do with your life.
(even when your life has barely started and you don't know anything about life yet)
.
so we made a decision.
.
first tries are usually failed attempts,
and your parents may tell you something like,
'are u sure you want to be that? it's not an easy route...the job doesn't even pay well for fresh graduates..
think about it again, we'll discuss about it next time.'
.
OH BUDDHA.
.
after a few tries you figured out that what you want,
and what makes you happy,
really doesn't matter in your life.
what matters most is how happy you'd make your parents.
.
so. fine. i can handle that.
.
university.
a small training ground for us to learn what it's like to be a grown-up.
you pay for your own food,
you manage your own schedule,
you made a loan with the government to pay for your own education...
.
i realized that we students are quite a daring bunch of people,
because without much experience in money-making we,
by ourselves,
loaned thousands of tax-payers' hard-earned money,
to pay for the lectures that we,
sometimes skip,
and use the extra money we've loaned,
for our own personal use.
be it shopping or random vacations.
.
so daring.
.
but anyway,
back to the deciding-our-own-future topic.
.
the thing about deciding what we want to do
is that once you know exactly what your passion is,
you'd intend to focus on achieving that goal,
and that goal alone.
because dude, my future is damn important to keep me alive.
.
thus,
i do not understand why is there co-curricular activities,
and MyCSD points.
and i don't understand why must we prove ourselves to be 'well-rounded' in such a way.
.
if they want a resume,
i can damn well write a very impressive list of the things i can do because i want to do it,
not because i have to pass a certain limit set by the people that i'm sure can't even do half of the things that i can,
in order to prove that i'm a jack of all trades.
.
i feel that we are not learning 100% of what we should be learning in the field that we WANT to learn from.
instead,
we're wasting our time chasing after the illusion of being a 'well-rounded' graduate.
.
ask me what i know about chemistry in the real world,
and i can tell you confidently that i don't fucking know anything about the real world,
because all i know are chemistry in 'idealized' conditions.
ideal gas.
closed systems.
machines with 100% efficiency.
reactions that reacts 100% complete.
.
so how the hell am i going to expect to get hired
when all i have is a fragile little bubble of the ideal chemistry world??
.
'it's ok, what you learn in school isn't what you'll be needed to apply in your career when you get a job'
so.....why do we need to go to school???
to join activities and foolishly 'learn' to be well-rounded???
so we borrowed money we can't pay back to do things we won't be needing in our career lives???
seriously????
.
dammit.
.
don't get me wrong.
i love chemistry.
like, fucking love it more than i love my dogs.
i want to know everything about it.
the reactions, the logic behind those reactions, the magic of how those reactions take place.
i want to lock myself in a laboratory and mix and match chemicals all day long
just to get a better grasp of how chemical works in real life.
no slide shows.
no distractions.
no 'we will learn about this further in the next chapter' shit.
i want to know it all, now.
if not, when?
in the 'future'??
newsflash folks,
the future is NOW.
