4 years of College/University study almost done. Just have 1 year left and I will graduate with 2 degrees but ATM I'm totally burned out. I'm finishing up on some of my upper level econ classes that get into a bunch of esoteric stuff that is clearly not applicable to the real world so I'm having trouble doing any of the work. Right now I'm writing a paper on Machiavelli and while it may be an interesting text, I'm really just dragging along the bottom right now. I really don't understand how reading this book or writing a paper about it will really do anything for me in real life when I have a real job. Anyone else ever feel like this? School should be more about preparing us for the real world, not about jumping through hoops to get grades.
