You know, we all grow-up thinking about college. It is almost like a “dream” that we build up since our early childhood. But is it really OUR dream? or is it our parent’s, friends', society’s and government’s dream?
Not always will college give us what we need in order to accomplish our goals. Shouldn’t we be given that option? To not go to college? And instead, choose to.. I don’t know, become a monk.. or start a business for example!
Gosh, you could go sell hot-dogs if you want(yes, some people have that dream)! But no, you HAVE to go to college, even if your "dream job" is just selling hot-dogs or fried potatoes on the streets.
Many people go trough all that effort, spend 4 years with their butt on the chair, spend a lot of money, only to conclude that, in the end, their goal was not something that college could help them with.
Believe me, I have seen that happen countless times... There are TONS of people out there that got graduated from college, but work with businesses that differ completely from their college degree.
Instead of spending that time and money with some valuable experience, many times people just waste valuable years of their lives.
Many successful people did not go to college, and if they did, they probably wouldn’t have accomplished their goals.
The truth is that college won’t teach you how to be successful in life.
Do you think that if Mark Zuckerberg had given-up on writing facebook code to just stick to college he would have been more succesful than he is today?
I don’t think so! And I’m gonna tell you why: sometimes if you don’t make a move when an opportunity comes, you may not see it again for your whole lifetime! You may just have to focus all your efforts there until you make it, and if you know what you're doing, your life will change completely. I can feel it, it is real for me! But this is not for cowards... This path is for the brave ones, it is the path of life-changing opportunities.
By the way, did you know that nearly a third of the world’s billionaires do not have a bachelor’s degree?
But i’m not talking about money here.. i’m talking about being sucessful and achieving your goals.
Of course, if you want to be a doctor, you must go to college! But my point is, depending on what you want for your life, college should not be seen as an obligation, but rather a choice… Because I believe that, sometimes, it can be a bad one!
Don't get me wrong.. College can be very useful for you, it may even change your life. But sometimes it won't, and only you can understand that. Sometimes you just need to listen to yourself and your intuition.
Do you think it's easy not following the program? Few people have the guts to go that way... That is one of the reasons that this very few are also the ones who are able to make it to the top, or simply really change something in people's lives. You can't do that simply following what everyone else is doing.
Will your parents be upset? Will your friends, colleages, spouses, think you're making a bad decision? Let me tell you this: hardly ever will someone understand you better than yourself, so why do you think that other people will always know what's best for you? Can other people see what you see? Can they feel what you feel? Can they understand what you understand? They might get close to that, but if they do, they will support you and you may trust them. But when you see that they don't have the slightest idea of who you are, my friend.. Then you'll have to make your decisions alone, and believe me when I say you'll be well rewarded for that!
