Today I finished and graduated high school and I have stuck with my decision not to go to college as it just inst for me. Currently, I feel really down because I'm hoping I'm not making a mistake not going. This video helped me feel better about the position I am in and gave me a reminder that I do have skill sets that can and have in the past given me job opportunities. Those skill sets are Video Editing, Social Media Management, Music engineering/producing, and a few more that I have learned on my own and gotten experience working with. Hopefully, I can take myself far and put myself in a confrontable position in life, Thank you for this video and have blessed day.
Hey there. Thanks so much for your kind words, and for sharing part of your journey. I absolutely understand your concerns, but know that there are incredible opportunities for you outside of college, especially with your skillset. I'm happy to serve as a little reminder of that. Keep pushing through and believing in yourself, and remember the ENTRE community and I are here to support you. You've got this!
Those are great hobbies that you could definitely turn into a business. Getting started is the hardest part, but it's the most important. The ENTRE team and I are always here if you'd like to learn more about our programs. 😎
I needed this I'm 19 didn't go bc I didn't want the risk of spending money that I frankly dont have. I still feel like I did mess up by not going but I do feel like there is a better way
I’m 15 and I’m not good at anything, I have no idea what to do with my life. I don’t wanna go to college when I turn 18 if I don’t have a definite idea just to build up student loans I’ll be paying off for the rest of my life. I’ve thought about starting a business but I don’t know what business to do as I’m not good at anything. I’ve also considered (things I would need to go to college for) marine biologist. I love the ocean and marine animals, and I have a textbook about it I’m just starting to read and I’m in the ocean club at my school. Also maybe a therapist. Or a domestic violence lawyer. But these are things that require years of college and I’m scared I’d end up changing my mind. I feel hopeless about my future at this point. I’ve wasted so much time not getting good at anything or exploring my interests.
Hi Gianna, thanks for reaching out. First, give yourself some grace. You have SO MUCH time to decide what you'd like to do and explore your interests. Never forget, there is no time to start like the present. That's the beautiful thing about life is we get to try different things and find what we are most passionate about. Keep going and get started on what you'd like to study, a type of business you'd like to open, or general interests overall! You've got this.
Move to a high income city like DC. Work hours like top doctor lawyer Wall Street professionals. Start with minimum wage ($60k yearly) and use on the job training to double hourly wages a few times. Invest everything into above average assets with leverage. Buy a small house with several friends in cash. Once your unearned income exceeds living expenses, transition to focusing on writing something within a business, to sell nationwide to the 100 million households. Lawsuits, software, books, patents, movies, courses, advertisements online, etc. Continue investing and affording your living expenses. Give away all your extra unearned income to young people from historically disadvantaged American families like yours, who want to replicate this model. Pay for their living expenses to help accelerate their ability to also sponsor others through life. Make a commitment to using your own personal wealth and assets to operate a community based economic development program.
me and my friends are all 16 year olds, they all have there life set up with high paying jobs, and i’m stuck with nothing except the military, i don’t have anything, and i don’t know anything about anything
Thank you for sharing some of your story! The good news is, it's never too late to learn about whatever interests you and that will fulfill you. You're so young, also. Don't be too hard on yourself.
