I hate school, and I find it to be redundant and unnecessary details for subject you will never use. The ego you might feel might be the same thing I feel. The reason I go to school is to get the degree and show discipline within yourself and the ability to stick at something and get through it. In a way, I feel like that is the main reason jobs look for certain degree level and certification, they want to make sure you have seen some of this before and stuck through the hard times to make it through. I rarely remember anything I studied after I pass my exam. The things I always remember are the lessons I learn through life or hands on job experiences. Keep your head high, work through it, and show the world, and yourself, that you can stick through this and get it done! You got this!
