Do you notice that people don't sit on a backward chair anymore?

Anyway, got into my program at U of T (University of Toronto, for you internationals). Am I looking forward to another (at minimum) 18 (straight) months of school? No. Am I going to go anywhere with what I have right now? No. Do I want to work any harder than I already have in order to achieve my long term goals? No. So this is what most people may call a "lack of motivation" ... I call it a clusterfuck. I should have left my goals at becoming a trophy wife. Sometimes, I regret not going into a trade right out of high school. I look at my millwright, welder, even plumber friends and see that they have (or are close to) what I hope to have in a few years' time. Sure, they may not have the prestige of 83 letters attached to their names. Nor do people talk to them in awe on their intelligence (I use 'intelligence' very loosely here). But in the end, it doesn't fucken matter. At the end of the day, some of my trade school friends are able to easily feed their family of four, pay the rent/mortgage and have cash left over to get wasted. Me? I have to scrape the bottom of my purse to buy a round of beers once a week.

So why do people put so much emphasis on education? Probably because they get a cut of my fucken tuition and in return I am able to use words like emphasis with confidence and authority.
