Jeremy argues that playing it safe by chasing credentials is actually riskier than building skills. When his company struggled, he was told to go back to school. Instead, he chose to develop knowledge and expertise, which he sees as real security.
I'm working for a company. And I remember I told her, I was like, ah, man, this company's having some issues. Like, there's talks that they might go bankrupt. And she's like, jeremy, you better go back to school and get your degree, son. You better go back. And I'm sitting there like, what are you talking about? Like, I can just go get another sales job and do the same way. But it's just that mentality of, like, play it safe. Whereas I'm like, I feel like that's a dangerous path. That's not safe. Like, the path I'm playing is actually the safe path because I've developed skills. I have knowledge. Knowledge equals power. That's the safe path.
