Personally I didn't take high school seriously It was a horrible time but now I take my time at university very seriously.

@PrincessOfHell is your seriousness a factor of it costing you money to be there? Or the fact that you identified a goal to pursue that took you through it? Would you take it less serious if it were free?

@ViciDraco It costs me next to nothing since the system here in Germany is good. I take it seriously cause I have passion and goals and because being at University studying amongst people with similar interests is amazing.
Most take University seriously and those who do not simply leave to pursue something else.

@PrincessOfHell That is what I thought, and I think that is amazing. We get a lot of people in the US that get halfway through, realize they hate what they chose and then have to double down on debt to pay for a different degree focus or can't afford more debt so just suffer through trying to make a living out of something they hate.

Paying for university doesn't really get people to take it seriously, it traps them in misery.
