This is the notion of Heidegger’s “thrownness”, which I love as a philosophy concept for how straightforward it is. We all have this feeling that we were “thrown into” the world without choice and have to make the best of the situation we’re born into.
Always slackin cause I'd rather be quackin

I do not agree with your sentiment, but I will fight to defend your right to jump in the creek and eat duck weed all day.

How is a duck like a doctor? The can both shove their bills up their ass. (!) Sorry that's a joke my dad used to say to his own doctor. Anyway -if you wanna be a duck , be a duck. But - be an educated duck and do the school thing anyway. I know that school isn't fun and games and, most of life isn't going to be fun and games.
But at least it does put you on a path toward a little better life, if you ask me. I wasn't fond of school until about high school, when for some reason I really took off and got into it, went on to college, then after getting my BA I went back to college for four years because I loved it.
So school isn't always a burden. It can be a very healthy thing if you approach it the right way.

Pretty much sums up why Hinduism was created. As a bonus, while waiting to become a duck you can pick a cool God-buddy that is half animal.
