College is Dumb

So recently it has come to my attention that college is ridiculous. In this context recently means within the past 3 years. If we go to a normal school for like 12 years before going to college, why do we need to take general classes? Why can't we just have specialized classes for the field we want to pursue? The answer to that is probably the following:
It's really blurry because of reasons. Thanks Lincoln.
Really though. I want to be able to do stuff that I like doing without paying thousands of dollars for it. What the HEHCK. Where else am I going to be able to sing in a large group? How else am I going to be able to scream on multiple different instruments at the same time and afford it? How else am I going to do math with an actual goal in mind? How else am I going to do science without directly needing a license to purchase chemicals? That's crazy.

How in the heck am I supposed to do things that I enjoy doing without going to college? Sure I could apply for positions, or do auditions for things, but that takes a lot of time and energy. If I'm in poverty for the rest of my life I don't want to spend all my time doing things that will be extremely stressful while doing other things like work.

So I have resolved that I'll be a mountain man. I'll live in the Yukon somewhere and nobody will expect anything of me. That's the life.
