Anger and spite carried me through 4 years of university. I was a complete slacker in highschool and completely bored and disconnected with the course work. Not that I couldn't do it, or was stupid, I just didn't care about it at all. My family, being ever so kind and insightful, started making snide and sarcastic comments about me to my face. That was the breaking point so I redid a couple classes, jacked up my grades, applied to university, got a scholarship and moved away. That rage carried me pretty far. The one mistake I made was applying to do a masters and completely burning out. I should've gone straight into the workforce and relaxed, enjoying the money earned from success.

In my experience, this mentatlity leads to burn out. Regardless of university or workforce. Or even so rich you can be job-less.
