    There’s a miss conception that getting a college degree is a MUST to be someone in life, which is entirely false. Most of the boomers who basically force you to get a degree, do not have one and managed to purchase a house which cost was pretty much double of his monthly wage instead of the current 1,000,000%.

    Seek professions that are lacking in your country’s society, and don’t fear changing to new areas.

      Unfortunately, I learned this after I took on a few thousand in student debt. It took a hell of a lot of work, and it certainly isn’t for everyone, but I’m now a self-taught front-end web dev making a decent salary. The trick is to learn some kind of skill and know it like the back of your hand.

        Yes, never stop learning.

        If you after a year feel like you don’t know nothing new and are doing your job the same way, you’re doing it wrong.
