I took the all caps off your thread title, and removed the word "rant".Hi, fastlaners,
I discovered this entrepreneurship stuff like 2 years ago, got interested in dropshipping, digital marketing, and business.
The truth is I have never really made a lot of money, I was working in construction previously, and just started shifting into the digital world.
I just turned 24 last spring, I would love to start a digital business one day, mainly to allow for things like traveling and lifestyle freedom. But I
am also highly considering going to college. I couldn't go to college before, It was because some immigration status thing, but now I can.
Since I am more inclined into marketing and tech. I am thinking of getting either a marketing or a computer science degree. I know that to start
a lot of businesses, you need a certain amount of capital and skills. I just don't have that income source right now to fund a business that could potentially flop and cover my cost
of living. I am also too skeptic of all these gurus pushing smma, copywriting, and cold closing as a ticket to entrepreneurship and financial freedom.
It's not easy when you don't have experience, and the right knowledge.
What do you guys think, should I invest in myself by going to college? or do you recommend "thugging it out" by working multiple jobs and saving to launch something?
There's a lot of threads in the forum about going to college or not.
It depends too much on your own goals, circumstances, and opportunities for us to really advise.
You don't *need* to go to college to start a business.
Oh, and check your post to see if you're "me" focused or focused on serving people (aka adding value).
