why do I have to study if I can actually earn online?

Sometimes I have this feeling of "What if I'll spend my time blogging internet for me to earn money than attending my school?" But since I'm a consistent honor student and a scholar it feels like a total waste if I'll do that.. Have u ever had the same feeling sometimes?

no. I'd rather be educated and non-techie (because I know I can always start learning) than to be ignorant about many things and know only the blog and internet.

Yes. true. Everything in this world is in-need of learning. Those people who are not that vigilant are the ones who learn less. We must be sensitive to everything. That is how learning really follows.

Good point. :D This comment made me think of this: It's surely always amazing to discover new things through learning. You learn from school, you learn from others' blogs. You learn from the net. You learn something in any thing you do!

i think education is mandatory.knowledge helps in some way or the other.nothing goes for waste and i think blogging ans stuff can be kept as a passtime.and according to me having knowledge and going to a real workplace to work is very different from staying home and just posting,blogging etc. you can meet real people and make friends in the real world,so, whatever comes to you online ,you can keep it as a bonus!

I have that same exact feeling but bear in mind that we are studying to establish our selves to our society that cannot be stolen from us. It is good to apply your skills through blogging and earn a lot of money but you can do that as a sideline or to help augment your income. It is a waste if you set aside your scholarship for who knows you might become a model to young students in the future who would want to learn more from you. Inspire others through your blog.

Remember it is not money alone that shapes a person's character or personality but rather it is made up of many vital factors and one of them is education,you'll remember what I told you after you graduate college, since you mentioned you are an honor student,I know you are bright enough to grasp what I am talking about

Oftentimes, I see studying in school a waste of time. Imagine, spend around 15 years of your life for education! That 15 years may have been spent to earn money instead. Maybe it's what every business-minded person is thinking. But I also see education as a "back-up" for businessmen, esp. to those who have small scale businesses. If the business falls, they may easily switch to being an employee.
