Welcome Nathan !

We are all worthy of enlightement if we understand and follow the teachings of the Buddha.

I think perhaps you are misunderstanding the meaning of suffering (dukkha) and there is certainly no need to for you to go looking for it ! "Suffering" means the disappointments, dissatisfaction and difficulties we all have in one way or another at some time in our lives.

As far as your education is concerned, I think its very important that you should continue with it so that eventually you will have the means to be able to get a job to support yourself.

with kind wishes to you,

Aloka-D
