Thanks for the quick replies

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

Does Buddha teach that his way is the only way to reach enlightenment?

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.

Then perhaps what I am describing as suffering is not what Buddha means by suffering?

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.

I already support myself. Though an education would certainly increase the cash flow.

Again thanks for the responses.
