How often were you forced (throughout your educational career in philosophy) to bother with philosophical works which felt like a chore with no rewards? Did it pay off in the end in terms of your own development so apart from discipline and grades etc. or was it mostly a waste of time as expected?

I've been a serious autodidact for about two years now and I'm considering going to Uni for it to get an extra edge. The above is kind of what I worry about.

If you had the choice to go back to HS times would you take the same path again?

Sorry about my English.
