Best college for self actualization? (free education)

5 posts in this topic

Which is the most useful knowledge/education that I can get? I don't have a LP figured out yet, I'm 18,have a shitton of limiting beliefs that I need to work on. I want to get into a college because I'm a straight A student and education is free here, to buy me time to figure out what I wanna do with my life. I'm already preparing for psych entrance exam. Is there a better thing to get educated about? I feel like college is a hindrance unless it's aligned with your LP, but I have none so for now I wanna tread the safe path. Not mature enough to break through yet. Need to work on my bullshit first. So, what would you say is the best education you can get? Which field of science, art, whatever? And when I say best, I don't know what I mean lol. Best college for self-actualization? Or in terms whats useful knowledge? No idea.

If you're in the process of discovering life purpose but don't know what it is yet, just go to college for something you're passionate/interested about. Especially if its free for you! There's plenty of other things going on at most colleges other than the courses, so all those extra activities could prove to be good reference experiences for digging deeper into your life purpose.  I'm in the 2nd year of a degree and I'm doing the life purpose course now, so not sure if my lp lies within the domain of my degree. But at least I have some extra time to do the life purpose course. Many people simply have a tonne of other responsibilities so they don't get time to do inner work like this. Head to college!

Uni/College is great for that then. Loads of extra activities for you to do, you could easily find a passion at college. Depending on the size of the college there will be societies/clubs, volunteering, work experience opportunities, maybe a chance to travel to different places, meet a load of new people and be in a great environment! If you take your attitude of searching for your passion into college you'll probably make some great progress. If you don't head to a college you'll miss out on all those opportunities and reference experiences! 

No Passion? Are you playing video games and watching porn all the time or something? Surely there's at least one thing you know you're interested in. As I say, college can expand your experience and help you out with discovering a purpose!

Thank you for replying man! Fuck no. I have interests but they don't go as far as passions. Of course I'm going. The question is : to which one? I don't want to learn anything that isn't useful, amassing knowledge seems like bullshit to me because it's futile, and I have no curiosity to just want to understand things for the sake of it.
