I hate myself. I'm in law school at a good university but I feel fucking worthless.

You see, although in my country law is not an oversaturated field I still feel worthless. Why? Because I don't build/make/invent anything concrete. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be an engineer or a doctor or a chemist. But I am a retard with numbers. I didn't memorize basic multiplication (4x4, 8x9 etc) until 4th grade. I cheated my way through middle and high school math.

I don't have to work immediately after college. Hell, I could take 2 more bachelor degrees after I finish law take that 'muricans. But should I? And anyways I'm still horrible at math. I could be a lawyer/engineer and build both legal and literal frameworks IF I could actually into math. But I can't even do 1st year highschool math. Getting a job in law is not a problem after college for me.

When I was in high school I planted a small plot of land with cassava. They're dirt cheap and you could buy them, but when I harvested them I felt pride and joy from the feeling that my effort has materialized into something concrete. I was more proud at this than when I won a debate competition at the same year.

Sorry for the tl;dr. Thanks if you read it.

Dude, read the link in this post >>5198 here

I literally found the source of my unhappiness there. You and I are artisans and we love to independently build/make/invent shit that is what we base or manliness and sense of worth on, from industry. Personally I thought I was some weird fuckup for not being able to happily go to some shitty doctor/lawyer/office job like most people here and my family would always push that shit down my throat like it's some kind of ideal, it just doesn't work for me, maybe it does for them and maybe they are happy doing it but I am not and I get depressed even when I think about it.

I decided I wouldn't go to college or university and work full-time on my art, I am much happier this way.
