I wonder why they hated school. Maybe the problem was the school and not the topic? Otherwise I feel sad for them disliking the topic they chose as a career path :(

I feel like there's so much interesting stuff out there, there must be something useful that they find at least interesting.

Thankfully there is often a pretty big difference between studying and working.

I found there to be a level of stress in my studies that I never had a problem with later. An idea that any moment not spent pouring over books was contributing, at least in my mind, to inevitable failure; doubly so with exams looming ahead.

For me finishing my engineering degree was such a massive relief and work is so much better. I'm in anon's boat.

Yeah I can understand that sitting on a desk all day, reading and taking exams is a pretty harrowing experience for most.

It looks like it's my personal tastes that allowed me to enjoy school. And I really did enjoy it! Hopefully other people find something to do that they love.
