I’m 31 with no friends and worked a shitty retail job for 11 years (I don’t anymore cause the place shut down so now I work at a slaughterhouse). I have never once missed school. You couldn’t pay me to go back there.
I’m just saying, in school you still had your whole life ahead of you, including your 20s
Everything was fun and exciting. The consequences of forgetting stuff or messing up weren’t as bad. You weren’t forced to work with anyone. Making friends was much easier. There were clubs and activities
Dunno man, I don’t want to be contrariant, but it just sounds like you were privileged enough to think that way now.
I was poor, I didn’t really get to go clubs or extra activities besides classes, neither did I made any lasting friendships.
Now I’m in my 30s and I’m living my best life. I have a job I can enjoy, enough money and a loving partner. Never have I thought that it would be nice to go back to school. Hell, I haven’t had contact with anyone from school since it ended.
I do have some fond and grateful memories of some teachers. I think about them from time to time, but I don’t really miss any of it.
Also, I’m from a country that has decent enough public school system.
I do not miss one thing about school
Hey! Another space animal!
You will when you’re 24 with a shitty retail job and no friends…
I have like fifty million friends and a great job. I appreciate that my education helped my life, but I don’t miss school for a second.

There are still clubs and activities in adult life and also I’m not forced to follow arbitrary rules all the time
Our schools were very different!

I could say the same for your point, since you clearly have the freedom to work at a job that you enjoy
It’s all relative to how privileged you were in school vs how privileged you are in your job market
Oh, yeah! I went up big time. Not own property up, but live well up.
wrong! That does suck but it’s way better than school!

I’m 40 and close to retiring. Ha
