If my life-motivation is learning and its the only thing I really want to do in my life– what should I do?

Question by ?: If my life-motivation is learning and its the only thing I really want to do in my life– what should I do?
I would love to stay in college indefinitely, taking every class that interests me. I’d love to devote months and years of my life to particular subjects, learning all I can about them. Perhaps sort-of a modern philosopher.

But I can not have a vocation such as thus.

What do I do?
I’ve considered teaching…but I would want to teach college-level, and that usually requires extensive experience in the field… and I’d hate to my devoted to one subject.

Perhaps you could teach. You could stay in an academic environment as a college professor.

Edit: Well then, maybe you could teach philosophy, since you expressed an interest in that field. I expect that that would be interesting enough to keep you occupied.

I respond to Scientificdiscussion’s Ayn Rand is insignificant debate point. www.youtube.com I talk about why Ayn Rand is significant, how modern philosophers are not significant, and why I think Ayn Rand comes up in conversations. This also is a topic of credentials and why they seems so important but can mean so little…. which is a huge topic that I hope to discuss sometime in the future. But if YOU(people of the world) have any doubt…… Then this message goes out to you: YOUR ideas about life are worthless, YOU don’t have anything of value to say, and whatever YOU do say can be disregarded since YOU(all of you) are not referenced in my philosophy 101 book…. I looked in the index and none of you were there….. just so you know. ;)

I don’t want to be a college professor but I am good at reading books and writing essays. I am a deep thinker and love history, religions and philosophy. Am I a good candidate?

Why is it that many don’t believe that you have great faith in Jesus and still want to study metaphysics?

I find that most people scoff at me when I say I have a great relationship with Jesus, but I study metaphysics. I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit. I also believe that God can and does communicate with us through spirits and apparitions. I have great faith in prayer, and also in meditation. However, it seems to me that the two are just not allowed to coincide. Why is that?
