How do I deal with my emotions so I can get work done?

My ego and/or emotions are going "I don't wanna!" "Sucking it up" would cause problems and repress energy or emotions. When I try to force myself to do it, my ego aggressively goes "No!!! I don't want to!!!" I don't know how to fix this.

It feels like pure work. It doesn't feel fun or meaningful. It's not interesting, and it's barely beneficial (I could get the information I need in a fraction of the time). It also requires a ton of time and effort. I'm forced to answer ~40-70 questions per assignment, and it's just asking what the huge book says. It's just meaningless facts I'm regurgitating in the form of time-consuming, non-stimulating work that takes hours.

It feels like I'm forced to do this to get my degree and become successful when there's no need to do any of it outside of getting the degree itself. It makes me go "What the heck is the point of this? Teach me what I actually NEED to know and what's actually useful to me, not this unnecessary crap that takes hours and tons of effort with no payoff." I feel like the school, government, whatever shouldn't force me to go through this crap to get the job I want.

There's no point to it except making companies and the school money, and since that's the case, why force people to go through this crap at all? Just make them pay the money. At least then they don't have to go through this crap and can fulfill the freaking point of an education.
