Basicly i have had almost the best grade in all subjects in school.
But now i am loosing the motivation to study.
I have 3 subjects in school right now that is appropriate to what i am going to work with in the future. I have the best grades in those subjects.
But on all the other subjects i just reach average. I just can't find the motivation to get any higher grades in the subjects that makes no sense to what i am going to work with.
The question is:
Should i try to focus more on the subjects that i hate and possibly get better grades on those subjects.
Or should i settle with average on the subjects that i hate and become even better on what i am already good at.

Master your craft, man. If you're taking random intro courses in college then the whole point is to get through them, you'll be able to specialize more in the years to come. I would concentrate on what you're going to be rather than add more work load to get really good at something you'll never fully indulge into. Don't get me wrong don't fail, but you don't need an A in the class.

I see. That makes alot of sense.
The thing is that those 3 subjects that i am realy good at, is the exact thing that i am going to work with.
I am already so far ahead in those subjects that i do not have to go to the lessons anymore (I already know more than the teacher...).
(i still go to those lessons just to learn as much as i can.)
One big problem for me is for example the "sports" that we have in school.
They are complete B*ll**** and alot of Sh*t that the teacher is teaching us is wrong. Thats why i only settle with average on those subjects.Back after a 7 year break...

Always strive to do your best. Although most of your efforts should be placed on the important classes so you can build a strong, fundamental base in those areas, you shouldn't let it come at the expense of other classes (even if they are irrelevant in the long run). I find that studying with friends makes subjects become more interesting. Seek study groups in order to make the studying process less tedious. Also, try to find fun, creative ways of studying. For example, reward yourself with something if you put in x amount of hours studying.
Hope this helps.
