Why I should take class serious?

Answer 1

This is a more interesting question than some respondents seem to think. First, let's dispense with some of the more common answers.

Namely: It is not so that you can earn more money. This is entirely the wrong motivation for paying attention in school.

Look, plently of people with advanced degrees end up working in terrible jobs, earning pennies -- or making money, but never having a chance to spend it in any way that makes them happy. I know more ex-lawyers than I care to count. Meanwhile, plenty of people with no degrees make six figures or more.

Yes, statistically, people with degrees outearn those without, but there's a "selection bias" built into that data -- people who are smart and who tend to follow through on things also tend to get degrees. Being smart and following through on things can make you successful, however, even if you don't have a degree. You can always become a plumber, start up your own plumbing service as an entrepreneur, outsmart the local market, make a mint, invest your resources wisely, and put your family members through college so they can become lawyers. Then you can retire early, no college required.

Does this sound implausible? It's no more implausible than the dreams of most freshmen in my college classes, all of whom dream of making it into a first-rate graduate or medical school and becoming fabulously successful, even though these schools won't take most of them, will grind 90% of the rest of them into chowder, and will release the rest into a cutthroat job market where everyone has the same qualifications and openings are limited.

There's lots of demand, meanwhile, for plumbers, and roofers, and machinists, and carpenters. Many of them can make a decent living, start earning paychecks earlier, put away for retirement earlier, and thus retire earlier than their college-going comrades. And if they become self-employed, or go the entrepreneurial route, they can out-earn doctors.

Let's get back to your question, then. The real answer is that it isn't really a matter of taking the class "seriously."

What you need to do is learn how to find difficult things interesting, or else you'll never be able to make a mint as an independent plumber, college or no college. School is a great place to practice this trick, to learn how to find things interesting -- and also to find things that are interesting to you even if you don't try so hard. The already-interesting things are important, too -- they're the ones you're likely to have a natural affinity for, and regardless of what other advice you're given, your best course for success probably lies in their general direction.

Just realize that along even the most ideally suited road for you, there are going to be obstacles that can only be overcome by someone who knows how to make himself interested in difficult things.

Answer 2

Because unless you have some amazing talent that will guarantee you fame and/or money or a job, you need to gain new knowledge from your classes and school in order to go to college and get a job. Without a job, you'll most likely become very poor and have to either live in the streets begging for money or live off of welfare, which really doesn't give you much, as the government regulates your spending and won't let you waste money on things they don't think you really "need." Have some pride in yourself; would you really like to see yourself using food stamps in the future and trying to avoid anyone you know when you go to the supermarket? =^^= Plus it's just err important to learn and what not.

Answer 3

Because you can't use words correctly!

Your question looks 'uneducated' like you never learned the basics.

It should have read, "Why should I take classes seriously," or better yet, \
"Why should I take school seriously." (Correct English)

No doubt you speak like you write, and visa versa.

Because most people in the world who are happy and/or successful graduate from High School. At least!

Answer 5

When an undergrad, I tried to take one creative class every semester, sometimes two (though in that case, usually one or both were only 1-2 credits). Some of them were more demanding than others, work-wise, but the time spent on them was more relaxing than stressful. As long as you are covering all your bases for your major and general requirements, one "fun" class a semester will be good for you. If you get into the class and find that the grading is too hard or the time demands too much, you can always sign up to audit or pass/fail or just drop it. A tip: always sign up for at least 15 credits even if you don't really want or need to. That way you can drop one class if it turns out to be a disaster. Also, if you're usually taking 12, you will get behind and not finish in 4 years. For every semester you take 12, you have to take 18 another semester to make up for it. It might even be a good idea to sign up for 18 with the intention of dropping your least favorite class within the first two weeks.

Answer 6

you should take class serious because if you want to get good grades you have to listen up and you should always try to do better. Because if you enjoy something and you want to go to a certain collage you have to get good grades to get into it!

Answer 7

The info might not matter to you now, but it will when you're trying to get a good paying job. Unless you're really, really lucky, you'll need a college degree to make enough money to live on.

Answer 8

College.
College=better paying job.
College graduates earn over a million more $$$ than non-college grads during the course of their life time.

Answer 9

first of all you need to learn to explain yourself properly
at this point no one knows what you are talking about
things like what kind of class would help
is this some sort of hang up?
or a teacher problem?
get the drift???

Answer 10

Do you want to have a bright future? Do you want a job? Come to your senses, school is a benefit not a sin, take it seriously!
