    Having written legal briefs for 2 years in undergrad classes and planning fully to be an attorney, I cannot imagine the whiplash of jumping in without any knowledge

      Bro… everyone is jumping in without any knowledge. I am saying this totally respectfully, and if you wanna go to law school I urge you to, but people with masters in public policy, extensive experience in difficult prelaw courses, and experience as paralegals, are ALL taken by surprise in law school. A lot of us took those classes taught by attorneys who swore we were writing full briefs, still abridged that material. Enter at your own risk. No one is prepared. Law as a practice is so gatekept that no classes outside of the law school really resembles law school.

    I went into law school knowing nothing about it, and having homework before the first class was mind boggling to me. But in many ways I was better prepared that some classmates because I was slightly older, more experienced, and understood we were not lawyers yet. It's amazing how many law students assume they know better than everyone else already.

    I had a similar experience to this, though on a much smaller scale. To this day, I still think, 'Maybe it was my fault? Did I misunderstand the purpose of any of those classes? Was there something I should have done before trying to join those classes?'
    In high school, I'd always been a percussionist, so my two electives were concert band and percussion ensemble (marching band, for my school, was an after-school extra-curricular activity, but I did that too). One year, however, I wanted to switch things up. I wanted to learn how to sing, so I signed up for a choir class. I don't remember which class specifically, but I imagine it would have been something like "Intro to Choir" or anything that gave the impression that I wanted TO LEARN HOW TO SING. That's not to say I couldn't sing; I just wanted to learn, you know, how to sing "correctly" so that I wouldn't be hurting myself, things I should be doing to hit pitches better -- you know, the usual things people seek out classes for, to learn to do the thing the class is for.
    Anyway, I was put in the class "with the best singers of all the choir classes", which is how that was described to me. I was put in "Chamber Choir". Let me tell you, I did not learn how to sing better or more efficiently while in that class apart from this one instance when a student heard me struggling and gave me the hot tip, "Sing from your diaphragm, not your throat". Thanks. I know that already. If there was one thing I already knew about singing, it was that. What I didn't know was WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN??? That's the whole reason why I joined choir, to LEARN how to sing better. Okay, yes, "sing from your diaphragm", I get it, but how do you do that? I thought singing comes from your vocal chords. No? No expounding on how to sing? We're just going to sing Lacrimosa expecting all of us to know how to belt Latin lyrics without hurting ourselves? Okay, sure. I like Mozart anyway.

    My professors would kick out students who clearly didn’t study the case in depth. They would call on students to stand and speak about a case and answer their questions.

So me 2 other dudes just ended up trying to make a game on our own which didnt work and the teacher just played games on his big projector for the whole term and would get mad everytime one of us asked him a question. He didn't teach anything other then a plan for game development and thats it. Funny enough he gave us all A's which cool but thats not why I went to class haha

      Had a STEM game design course in Highschool, the teacher barely showed up and only talked about game dev structure, or put on "Indie dev: the movie" once. No coding, no digital art, no game engine, not even game design theory.

      @@NobleWolf Oh for sure, I know it's hard to rally a bunch of teenagers to get anything done for a group project spanning a week, let alone 2 whole school years (The STEM class was a part 1 'intro' and part 2 'project' courses). I'll be the first to say I wasn't anywhere close to being a perfect student at the time, but still just the sheer amount of nothing burger and waste of time in hindsight is infuriating. To top it all off the class was hyped up from outside departments, like how we'd all be making a game by the end of part 2 and everyone would get a scholarship from it, promised we'd go to E3 as junior game devs, we'd even went so far as to go to a STEM convention where a skeleton crew of student "leadership" went as a "proof of concept" (a rough outline of game concepts, nothing even close to resembling a proper GDD) so the teacher could make it look like he was doing something during all that time. I say all this because the experience caused me to doubt my abilities and game development in general when seeking higher education and probably stunted my Game Dev journey by at least 6 years. I'm doing much better on my own now of course, but man did those years leave a sour taste in my mouth for the craft.

      Getting really blunt is the way I got through to my dad. You could tell them that if you wanted a degree landed you a job after graduating you would have chosen a different undergrad.
      Recognizing their concern and being blunt can be helpful because people don't expect others to know the consequences and to have made a choice anyway.
      It's very difficult to get a job with a history degree and those jobs rarely pay much. Your parents want you to have a degree that will get you a job and will pay well and sounds good when people hear it. So tell them if you wanted that you'd have chosen it.
      Don't do it if you don't want to. If you decide you want to later in life you can go back later in life. Risk being a little dramatic to express you understand their concerns.
