This is NOT a college-hate post. It’s still important. But I want to show that you can still have a successful life without it. I come from a middle-class family that considered college a necessary ritual. This was drilled into my mind, thus I studied and got into a reputed college for engineering.
That was a big mistake. I hated every bit of it. I slept in classes and partied most days
As expected, I got shit grades and got out of college with barely a degree and no jobs in hand. Although this was mostly my fault, I couldn’t help but blame being pressured into joining a college
I worked in McD for a couple years, being mostly looked down by my family during that time. After sometime, I decided this was enough and quit the job with some money saved
I wanted to start investing/trading as the world of markets always allured me
I spent countless days and sleepless nights learning. I read lots of articles, books, random blogs, Insta pages and reddit threads
Some of these sources were excellent, and gave me enough confidence to start trading
I started investing with a small capital, and I had some setbacks. But, I kept learning from them and now I can confidently call myself a decent trader. It took me 2-3 years, but now I earn enough to support my life and then some.
TLDR - you can learn almost anything on your own nowadays. Ex. I learnt finance and economics from excellent sources, for FREE. College is a good option to help you explore fields, but not necessary to lead a decent life
