I hate college. Help me.

you said that you want to ride motorcycles professionally. Sorry, but unless you’re in Europe and have been at it for many years, not happening.

However, this situation makes me think of a NYT article (and subsequent Colbert Report interview) about a guy with a Phd in Philosophy from the University of Chicago who is now a motorcycle technician.

Have you considered apprenticeship or mechanic school?

You certainly have a right not to be content with your life. If you were at that top college, you were paying top dollar in order to get a great experience, too. People who say you need to grow up and face the misery are themselves content with misery. You don’t have to be.

That, and being a trade worker can be quite lucrative…
