Im 22 years old, computer science and mathematics major. Spend all my highschool years smoking pot and doing mdma... last year i started to focus really on my studies, and I've been doing great. However, when i think about those students who spend their high school years studying, i think they would defeat me in the job interview since they are far more experience than i... is it too late at age 22 to become an extremely knowledgable person, like Jordan P., even if i spend around 5 hours a day each day on my studies?

I even had some people in art school who were absolute shit until senior year when suddenly they snapped out of it ad went super saiyan hyperbloic training mode. They have jobs.

The people that didn't get jobs just were impractical and studied basket weaving or were lazy as fuck, or just literally, like medically retarded and college lets retards in now I guess.

Same guy as art school guy. Probably "Imposter Syndrome" it's not a mental illness or any shit. Basically we are all just children in the world trying to figure out what the fuck we should be doing. We always feel thrust into things we aren't ready for and always feel that someone else could fill our shoes better.

Been at my job for a few years and I always feel like "any day they are going to realize I'm not that fucking good, why the fuck did they hire me?" Pretty common feeling sense life is just endless uncertainty.
