I've lately had a lot of annoying thoughts in my head and I've somehow managed to step outside the inner circle, where everyone gathers and heads on with their lives, so I'm somewhat lost.

I recently had to quit my education because I just couldn't handle it, the sitting down in a classroom, going over the same things I went over in high school - it became too much.

My parents aren't happy with this at all, as they'd rather see me getting and education and moving out, earning money etc.

But I'm conflicted.

Anyways, we all live in a modern world where money and education/jobs is priority nr. 1. Without an education, you can't get a job, which means you can't earn money, which means you do not have a future at all.

It's an endless circle and I just can't seem to accept this kind of life. I cannot and do not want to see myself, working day and day out, letting my entire life slip by to earn money so I can live another day.

Am I wrong to think like that? I just find it so trivial to study for years, so I can work somewhere for someone else. I mean, yes, there are a lot of beneficial work out there, such as charity work and helping people who needs it.

But due to personal issues, I cannot do that kind of thing.

I know many people are happy about their jobs and what they do daily, but to look at the bigger picture - spending your life, working from sunrise to sunset, having little time to yourself/family etc and never seeing the things you want to, is that really what we're supposed to?

I'm 20 and I'm horrified by the thought of never seeing the work, because I'll be tied up to some desk or fake a smile at customers, who doesn't smile back because they obviously had a bad day at work, instead they just take their bags and head out the shop.

I dream about travelling the world, exploring and taking in every piece of the Earth we live on, but to do that, I seemingly have to spend at least 3 years working, because I need money.

Every time something about politics and the economy pops up in the news, I feel sick, because it's not only killing our world, it's killing every single person in it.

I live in Denmark and our government is planning on keeping children down from the age of 6, in school for longer and they're tightening the rope around our educational support (money for students) - seemingly to get us faster through the system.

Am I alone, thinking like this?

I just don't know what to do.

I cannot talk to my parents about my worries, my mom cannot handle me and if I bring it up, she get's mad.

I've arranged a meeting with an advisor, but I just want to know if I'm alone on this?

Thanks in advance and sorry if I sound confusing.
