I just went back to school to get a technical degree after 5 years working, school is definitely worse. I know its only temporary but I hate my life right now lol
Depends on the job and school
I do workshops and professional courses only nowadays without any final test. I cannot stand the whole exams, assignments thing anymore. I did too much of them and I am old enough that I am a peer to professors. And I used to teach at university...
I like to learn, I don't have time to waste in all the evaluation/marking BS.
This hits home, I've got an MSC and years of experience in my field in a research setting (pathology/histology) and I'm going back to get certified for med lab and oh my god is it ever unfriendly for mature students. I've been through some stressful times in life and every time I say "wow that was brutal, at least i'll never be this stressed out ever again" and this is far and away the most stressed out I've ever been, the program is insane. its not complicated, its just a firehose of convoluted lectures, readings, assignments, half the time I'm just trying to organize everything, they just offloaded everything onto the student. I barely have time to make dinner, I can't remember the last time I had an hour to myself between school and my old lab, there aren't enough hours in a day. I'm never going back to school after this, it'll be worth it in the long run but this'll probably take a few years off my lifespan.
Good luck, stay strong!!
Same here, I don't feel like the tests did more than stress me out. They're just shortcuts to force people to study but I feel like I learned more when the will came from within. I mean, I got pretty far out there on certain topics that were not required but explained a whole lot.
