It seems like no matter how bad things get and how little they have to show for it, people will always preach the slowlane way of doing things. Does anyone here just get tired of listening to people altogether and stop trying to convince others that "that way" isn't working? I just recently got into a heated debate with someone stating how I'd need to have a degree to pursue the field I want (game programming/design). None the less they always seem to think they're right about everything, and the whole country (and world) is brainwashed into thinking what you're doing is wrong. Seems like 90% of people out there have a negative outlook when you try to do something out of the norm. Just tired of talking to people trying to "open them up" to trying new things that will work. I'm far from successful, but I know what I want to accomplish with my life, and it definitely isn't sitting in a classroom for 4 years, or sitting in a cubicle till I 'make it big as CEO'. Does anyone have experiences like this? How did you deal with it? Seems like everyone is riding that train, including my close family.
