Go into a Math based field. No more trying to read your professor’s personalities to figure out what their opinions are so you can bullshit them into a good grade. Just cold, hard numbers. Often many ways to get to the same answer, but at the end, you are either right, or you are wrong.
I can’t stand subjective questions. How the fuck are you going to tell me that my interpretation of an abstract concept is wrong?! I’ll stick with numbers, thank you.
I found my people. I always did well in English class, but I hated it, and liked math and science more for that exact reason. There is no intepretation or better answer, there is a exact method to get the right answer and you can easily check/prove why you’re right. No tricks or suprises, what you see is what you get, purely facts.
Now, I can write essays just fine, and I even enjoy them if it’s a topic I choose to write about. But those shitty standards of learning tests that we’d do in grade school fucking killed me. I was so suprised that I liked my college Lit course, we didn’t do bullshit like that, it was all about group discussion and intepretation of what we read that day.
Teaching just to meet standards really needs HEAVY reform/revision.
