You know how you get a job? You have experience. It does not matter how much school you have, if someone else is applying for that same job and has more experience than you do, they will get it.
Here is the cliche' for life. That you have to graduate high school, you have to go to a university, get student loans, get a 4 year degree at the least and then get a high paying job. And if you don't do that, you aren't ever going to be successful in your life. Period.
That somehow doing a job you hate, but getting a good paycheck will make your life the best.
What happened to going after what you want? What happen to just doing the hard work for a few years to get that job where you no longer have to work because you love what you do?
I am making more right now than most 22 year olds, and I don't have single dime of debt. And they're probably going to a job they hate just to get a pay check they "thought" they'd like. While I'm doing what I've always loved, having a job I enjoy waking up to and I actually get excited about!
I've done a lot of thinking. I feel like I completely wasted 3 years of my life, because I went to college. Yes. I feel it was wasted. I got an Associates Degree, which means nothing. That is the truth. It doesn't mean anything. In fact, if you ask my dad, it means I started something and I decided not to finish. And he's right.
Which is why I'm writing this. If you have something you love, something you have a passion for, make money off it. Start a business making those cute planners you love, go cook in your favorite restaurant because you love cooking! Or, like me, if you love taking pictures of beautiful people, start a business!
I have learned more about business by starting my own the past year, than I did MAJORING in Business. Because I have experience in it!
College doesn't guarantee success.
So I'm here to tell you go get your experience, rather than going to school and listening to others' experiences. It will be hard. It will be difficult. Heck, you may have to go and intern for a year and not get paid!!! But, I promise you will be able to do what you love for it.
