    Well considering I'm at the age where everything I choose to do because I enjoy what I do. So if I wasn't enjoying either Uni or my Job you can be sure I wouldn't be doing it any more Smile

    Aside from my online course and how early I have to be up, I like school. Funny, considering how much I hated it as a teen, but college is completely different compared to high school.

    I'm currently in my junior year at university (undergraduate). My job is okay, though I'm trying to get an internship within the history department at my university.

    The mission is, and always will be, the journey itself.

    Well. This is a reply to a very old reply.
    I'm currently in the 13th grade here in Germany and will do my A-Levels in April. My first exam will be in 49 (!!) Days 😂
    I really love to go to school because I love to learn new things. And I love foreign languages. Thanks to school. I am a B2 Level Spanish speaker 😂😁

    WOW, that song, if I could turn back time all of a sudden pops into my head Tongue Out.

    Well if no one minds reviving an interesting topic, I'm not a big fan of my current job as a truck driver, but the financial gains while getting my college degree completed outweigh the dislike level lol. Upon graduating in December, I'm first going to be looking at the US Navy, in an IT officer position. Another choice maybe going back to my favorite US state of Florida and getting a cushy IT job that will pay a lot more, but may not be as interesting Confused.

    On the school front, I love my college, it's allowed me to fully take the program online, which is very good because I've moved to different parts of my country since I started the program in 2016.

    I also like languages, in grade school I took Spanish for 4 years and French for 2 years, most of the Spanish has stuck with me, but I would be fascinated to learn German Big Grin. Glad you like school Emmy! Have you had any type of job yet? Tongue Out

    Back to topic.. well, when I went to school I didn´t really like it and was so glad and happy when it finally came to an end after my a-levels back in 1999. Today I´m quite happy with my job (management in retail business).

    I worked for hotel companies for years and eventually switched to restaurants. After having a kid I decided I was putting in too many hours at work so I needed to open my own business. I opened a couple of Vape shops here in the states and haven't looked back. It hasn't always been the case, but atm I love my job.
