Most people who say “you don’t need college to be successful” were never smart enough for college in the first place

I’m tired of this glorification of dropping out or skipping higher education like it’s some rebel flex. Let’s be honest, the vast majority of people who make it without college are either statistical anomalies or had some level of privilege (money, connections, access to resources).

For everyone else? You’re not being “different” or “entrepreneurial,” you’re just avoiding hard work and hoping vibes will pay the bills. There’s a reason most of the world’s knowledge, innovation, and progress comes from people who pursued actual education.

No, your TikTok side hustle isn’t the same as someone grinding through medicine, law, or engineering. Not all “success” is equal.
