No but I think I can still think like one and I can remember what would have gotten my interest back then before dropping out because video games were so much more interesting :')

Before I realized this world is just as interesting, but school does everything to make you bored of it before you can explore it.

Even in the most interesting fields, 95% of everything is boring work. That even goes for the individual tasks. Found a good physics problem? Well, you might be excited about it but 95% of solving it is going to be thinking about assumptions and doing rote mathematical manipulations. You are likely to get sick of it before even getting to any answer, much less the right one. There are also many important/useful fields that are not very interesting.

In a sense, the most important thing school does is to build up within students a tolerance of boredom and an appreciation of the fact that most work is potentially boring.
