Oh I see - Interesting. Well I still very much see it as a very valid criticism. I don't believe the situation should exist (or at least be as prevalent) where you can unfairly become discouraged to the point of no return. In most cases it's completely unnecessary and is a result of a misunderstanding on both ends. In most cases I believe it's a result of having no life direction and following a path laid down by certain expectations of you, or just poorly rationalized by you in general, and so you easily become swayed by insignificant details. Fixing that should focused on before going full force into a passion/study and spending thousands in the process. Put differently, all those details you talk about should be in support of your development towards a future passion, not distract you to a point of no return. Sorry if that appears incoherent - I'm in a hurry. Anyway I see that as a major issue in people and something our school system should do a better job of handling.
