Post Secondary isn't for everyone

I think you're kind of misunderstanding what i'm saying. I didn't say that school should be eliminated, infact, it would be great if it were more supportive towards the arts rather than shutting people down. But i agree, if you're gonna do something, you have to accept the risks and make sure you can dominate in it to make it worth while otherwise you're better off just taking a safe bet. Yes that was the point that i made in my first response, not sure as you said you didn't read the entire thing, i enjoy what i'm doing, but not passionate about it where i wanna do it for my whole life, i have other interests. I'm almost done, so i'm gonna stick with it but once i'm done i'm pursuing my passions and just using this as a back up. As for positiveness, i'm not sure about Singapore but university life in North America is pretty demanding and is not what you see in movies or commercials. There is a huge gap between highschool life and university and the transition can be very difficult for some. The work load, standards, and expectations can be ridiculous sometimes. But maybe you and i have different appreciations for university. For me its something more like i have to do, rather than i want if that makes sense. But anyhow, best of luck to you with your architecture, and for the record i've never enjoyed math either.
