If you're in college right now, you should just drop out. And most people that are in college should just drop out and move on and try to get into entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship. So like going inside of a company and trying to go up the ranks, building high-income skills, and just putting themselves out there a little bit more. With how much college is and how most of the degrees you don't even really need to use them unless you're like a doctor, a lawyer, things like that. But there's so many companies out there that don't even require and are moving towards like not needing you to have a degree. In order to work at that company. So I just think that this is something that you should think about before jumping right into college. I know a lot of people that got into college regret paying for it, and they're doing other things now that don't really require that degree. High income skills is a really, really powerful tool that you can use and leverage really no matter what field you're in, whether you're working for another company and like being an intrapreneur or actually starting your own side hustle or your own business.
