Focus more on loving what you are doing

I have been hearing more and more about students giving up their dreams since they don’t comply with the university rankings they had chosen at the beginning of their student lives.

Look, I am a student at McGill University, and that’s because, since the early years of my high school life, I was determined to get there and be future McGill alumni.

I am well aware that it’s not in the top-10 universities of the world, and it’s not, generally, the first one in the country of Canada.

What’s even the notion of giving up your dreams about the university that you like the most, provided that it’s not on the ideal thesis that you would love to see it.

Well, guess what: nobody cares.

The future of your job position isn’t to be determined by the university choice, and you will still get the job if you were at a #5 university rather than a top-3 university.

Do University Rankings Matter for Your Ego?

So let’s answer the question of the title and further discuss what would be the best solution for a future university student, either under or postgraduate.
