Education vs. Wanna Be's

    Frankly, are you that person ? Well, it first started with weeps and a few tear drops because your parents left you alone, supposedly, when you first enrolled in school. A first time primary school kid thinks of his/her parents trying to abandon and deliver him/her to a pack of strangers, teachers, so-called. Actually, that is what happened to this post author, and I believe this is what happened to many others. However, this is not the subject of this post in any manner. In such wise, let us dive in a little further and analyse what the previous question is discussing. The first lines of this post are only introductory lines of text to get you to the feel that what is coming next will disappoint you and many readers. Therefore, what is coming next?
    I know, I am aware of it; your thoughts are being deflected, and you are a bit disturbed. Probably, you're saying, what the heck this guy is talking about, but I just started, so ,please, give me a fraction of your precious time to start. So, back in time, when you were a kid, you often dreamed of becoming a teacher, a nurse, or may be a doctor -- that is what all Algerians wanted as result of their limited thinking. Actually, you may thought of many prestigious professions, and, mostly, you wanted to attain them all. All these passion-driven thoughts are strangely a little child's desires. Unfortunately, this infant's enormous energy may not save him time to strictly adhere to one aim in his future career; as many psychology researches show that a person cannot stream focus on more than one matter simultaneously. Now, continuously, the timeline of your life will not stop at this point; you rather begin your journey with a second phase, secondary school. At this period, your heroic Wanna-Be's started to fade away over time because some foolish unexplained interests intoxicated your mind and destroyed everything that is purely genuine and auspiciously flourishing. Of course, this period may be extended to involve another one (high school). Eventually, there it comes another critical phase for your individuality to be part of, the university period. At this time, you are engaged, preposterously speaking, in higher educational institutions' programs, in which every enrolling individual is said to be an academic. This fiddling evaluation and determination of one's intellectual complexity by the somewhat barely competent "professors" is inevitably questionable. The originally unwritten memo (dreams) of that child did not involve the inclusion of this phasic literalism, nor has it recommended to qualify any stage-based or periodic time cycles (semesters) so that it is accomplished. As a matter of fact, you can ask your self whether Albert Einstein continued his educational studies? didn't he? Did Mark Twain, F.Scott.Fitzgerald...,and many remarkable figures in science and literature fields continue school education, or even have they been registered in an educational facility? It is intimidating, though, that despite these personages had not received tempting offers with school education, they managed to exhibit their creativity and intelligence.
    what is more ridiculous? You are on the path to finish your M.A's degree, and you are rather rewarded by the non-anticipated "you're not qualified enough". Even though the person is preparing for his PhD degree, he is still not amply worth it because his "mentor"(supervisor) have a Master degree. Isn't it a shame to be part of it at all? isn't your time worthy of better than this waste.
    I personally recommend that everyone should allocate a certain time to reconsider his situational status before it is too late, and interrogate him/herself if this is exactly what he/she wants. Thus, this drags us back to our first question, Are you that person?
