What is the purpose of life? Unpractical university study

1. Working has become my life these 22 days.

Parties? no more.

Now I wonder if it's possible to continue my work while studying.. or to say continue my study while working.

What's the purpose of life? That day I talked about this topic with my friend. His answer is to travel, to be with nature, enjoy life. My answer is the opposite, I want to make more money to prove my value and power, making money is like the score you gain when you play the game of living in a society, that itself is a fun thing, not because money can buy things, but because accumulating money or proving your power of making money triggers something in your brain that makes you satisfied.

Another question, making money and spending money, which one do you like more?

2. I really want to complain, the theories we study at university is simply not practical, they are just useless in real battle field, it's like teaching you all the theories about how and why weapons are made and never teach you to use them. that's exactly the thing you realize when you are enrolled in economics and management course at college.
My ideal education for university is, to divide people into two groups, volunteerly, one group is theorist, they are taught all the theories we are taught right now, they are meant to become scholar, professor, analyst or others, and another group should be put right into business practice, put them into a job, retail, real estate, tourism, manufacturing, design, whatever you have in your local community, putting your students in real world situation to train them is the best thing a university can provide their students.
I study economics and management, and I don't find anything from my textbook useful in my real life work in hotel management. I mean, all those theories are like some kind of summary, instead of a method, you can't apply any of them to your job, you only write them down like a log after your work. We students are taught all those things smart people left us through out hundreds of years society evolution, they are valuable but not helpful.
To learn real things, you need to learn from your colleagues, your supervisor, your customer, your daily handling situations, not from abstracted concepts and definitions.

3. What is the purpose of your life?
I used to believe, my life purpose is to explore the secret of universe, to unveil the mystery of beings, to get engaged into a conversation with "God", the eventual power source of the universe.
Well it's still our purpose, the entire human being as a whole share the same purpose of existing, that is to discover the unknown behind our existence.
But now I'm looking more closely to those things that are really near and big in my life, how to survive, how to make money, they are vital, they are relevant to my living.
Infact, if I had enough money I could really dive into the world of discovering unknowns, even if not to invest billions into science, at least having a piece of peaceful place to focus my own mind on philosophy, to read and think and write.
The reason why I chose economics as my major now, is because I loved philosophy and poetry. Oh, how come? I used to write a lot of poems, long series of poetry, imitating Faust and Also Sprach Zarathustra, trying to touch on grand topics such as God, life, universe, unknowns etc. I wrote really a lot, but in the end I felt empty, I exhausted my imagination and I started to looking into myself, what did I have, to be qualified to write things. I had not much. So that was my limit, if I ever want to move further, I had to dive into real life, real social life, to party, to work, to know how to get to upstream in this world, to experience things that I couldn't or didn't. So studying economics is a good way to get real, right? That's why I chose economics, and I found a lot of fun in this area.
I wish I knew everything about money, about banking, about all kinds of indicators on news, knew what is really going on under the cover of news' words.
Maybe someday I would wonder, what was worth my youth in my job? Was that really worth the pay I got?

4. I don't know the answer of "do you like Venice?". I have no answer now. This island traumatised me, all worst things ever happened to me happened after I came on to this island, yet I also discover many good things such as my friends and job. I know losing stuff is not the island's fault, it's Mafia's fault probably. How do I regard this island? It's complex, I live here, I'm numbed about its beauty, I don't sigh about the beauty of the island, I don't get amazed, I'm used to it, like old couple being together for 50 years. What am I excited about living here?
I wish I could live on land, not island, I want to ride bike, I want to run on street without climbing up and down any bridge, I want to pursue endless horizon, not the edge of artificial island. I'm not happy with living in Venice considering the environment, I need to get back on earth, dry place, plants, beautiful sky with clouds...
Sottomarina looks so beautiful, I wish I could live there, but I work in Venice.
