I went into UniVERSITY (< see what I did there?) knowing full well I was wasting my time and my local authority's money (I got a partial grant ... jeez - I'm old, some of you might not know what a grant is). I 'read' Philosophy.
I left none the wiser. But it was 'an education' nonetheless... I learned lots more about drugs and nightclubs and sex. And a bit about philosophy, and my chosen minor subject, south asian religious traditions.
By the time I left I was ready to work hard. I mean really plug away and stay the course. I am actually still with the same employer that I joined the following year, after about 6 months on the rock'n'roll. That was in '95.
i think getting all the pratting about out of my system, in a protected environment, did me good.
Just because it may look pointless, that doesn't make it pointless.
