I left college last year and the biggest realization I’ve had so far about school vs real world is that the real world is much more malleable, but it’s also a lot more eliminatory.
School was about rules, theory, and structure. The real world is about survival—
There really are only two types of people in the world: those that learn from mistakes and those that don’t. The real world doesn’t educate, but it teaches. Whether or not you learn is up to you.
The real world favors those who seize the moment regardless of surrounding chaos:
School rewards obedience, the real world rewards curiosity.
School rewards those good at logic, the real world rewards those good with people.
School emphasizes risk-management, the real world reveals bigger rewards in risk-taking.
