Get the experiences you want outta life. You wanna go learn about social sciences and get a degree? Well don't let a silly thing that "I'm closer to death" stop you.
Will there be group projects? Most likely. Not the experience ya want? Find a different way to learn that shit.
This is it. This is the only chance you have. This is not a dress rehearsal. Fill your life with what you want to do. If getting a degree is important to you, and group projects and higher ed types get under your skin? Find a different road (is online an option in your locality?) or knuckle down and endure the discomfort to get what you want out of life.
Correct. We are operating outside the law
