Tolerating difficulties versus wrong interest

Post Reply New Topic

So what's your take on this? If you were confused with the title, let me explain...

So we all have areas of interest and areas of less interest when it comes to studying courses. So my question is at what point shall we just "suck it up" and get through with the boredom of studying something you don't like?

How do you judge whether a certain career path is not right for you, as opposed to telling yourself to just "suck it up" and stick with what you are already studying? It seems like there are lots of courses I find extremely boring and the thing is that any program you study will have a list of essential courses you need to study and not all of them you like.

If you're going for a particular career only to find that all the courses you study for it are incredibly boring then obviously there's something wrong with your career choice. That's my view anyway.
I never wanted to study some of the topics that I had to this year but I learned what I needed to anyway because I enjoyed the rest of what I was learning. Plus it means that I can eventually study what I want to.

Not all of them are boring. But there are always some I hate.

Yeah there's normally always one thing. I was talking in general though as I'm not too sure myself.

What matters is the job you get at the end. You should try to get a job that is as close to your interest as possible. The perfect job is one that you would do for free, but get paid for it anyways. School is just a path to get you there.

What if the job you want is one with low-pay such as moving boxes around or tutoring elementary math? Hey, you said one that I would do for free and would be my interest. Money aside, I honestly would not want a job that is high ranking in terms of the corporate ladder.

I had to suck it up, and read war novels, in Grade 10 English. I don't care for the concept of war. Why not read novels about peace, instead?

Ever read War and Peace?

Novels about war are often a powerful argument for peace. Have you ever read All Quiet on the Western Front?
