Either Seth Rogen has a time machine, or was a psychic in high school. Sure, he was in Freaks and Geeks back in the day and all that, but it’s almost as if he was prophetic about his future success and stardom. So, he laid the smack down on his teachers and on the useless schooling system in general in his yearbook writeup in his graduation year. In case you’re on an 80286 with a monochrome monitor and you can’t see the above picture, it says:

Of the seventeen some off years I’ve been alive, twelve of them have been spent doing schooling. That’s about 71% of my life dedicated to learning a bunch of stuff that I will probably never use. Ever since I started earning more than my own teachers, everything kind of fell into perspective. If you do what you want instead of what other people tell you to do, things will probably work out better, and if they don’t you’ll at least know that you tried. I am accepting of the fact that I may very well never have another job and in time may have to burn this very yearbook to keep warm, however, right now, if feelin’ good were a train, I’d be the engineer. ALL ABOARD, BABY!

It’s uncanny, coming from a high school grad. The man is a fucking genius. Let’s repeat the most important part just so it gets into your head:

If you do what you want instead of what other people tell you to do, things will probably work out better, and if they don’t you’ll at least know that you tried.

Not sure about you, dear reader, but anyone we look at seems to tell the same story: Aside from the basics (math, reading, writing, etc.) most of school is an absolutely useless system seemingly there to guide you into dumping $50,000 – $250,000 on a University education so you’ll be pretty much forced to get a “career” so that you can pay back the money. Oh and while you’re there, here, have a mortgage, so you’re stuck with your “career” for the next 25 years. Maybe a car and a shitload of other useless junk that you’ll accumulate as you try to shore up your miserable life with a bunch of consumer goods you neither need or really want. Thanks for the taxes, and enjoy your life of buying miscellaneous crap and trying to find happiness.

SETH: You’re a genius now, you were a genius then.
