First of all, I don't know if this is the right section.
Everything started about 4 years ago when I wanted to create websites. Since I didn't know anyone that could possibly teach me, I started doing some research and within a few days I knew the basics (at that time I barley understood English, since I live in Sweden).
It's funny how time flies. I've learnt C#, Objective C, javascript, CSS, jQuery, Photoshop, Cinema 4D, Maya + much more. I've developed multiple apps (iOS & Android) and websites. And now all that time I've put into it is paying off. I'm making 5 figures a month and I'm about to multiply it a few times!
All this money has made me think about my future. Today is the last day to change our high school choice (I think it's equivalent to "Gymnasiet" here in Sweden). I'm thinking about the International Baccalaureate but I'm not sure if it's worth it. If I won't be able to continue develop apps/work on my ideas I'll switch to something "easier" (like Naturvetenskap). I'll do a WADM now...
If you're thinking about starting a business/learn to program, do it! If a 15 years old can be successful why should you be any exception?!
Edit #1:
Right now I'm working on something BIG! Just a few days ago I talked to some guy over at Amazon, and apparently they wanted to work with me! Feels absolutely incredible!
Edit #2
I recently passed the 10k barrier, so it''s not like I'll become a millionaire tomorrow, but I'm pretty fkn close! I've found my fastlane and all I need to do now is to just give a bit more gas and BAAM millionaire before I'm 16.
Chose the best school you can, it's even more worth if you are going to gymnasium. Good allround education is also important. What is life worth, if you are over-rich idiot? Colleges for education are also good. Even if you are there, it's never waste of time. You are leraning life, social skills, you can meet and get real-life friends. There are things in life which are not exchangable for any money. And go for college, which will learn you some good skills later on. There are things, which you will only learn on University, but I see, as a very bad thing, than going to college here is being looked as something not worthy anything. Well, the richest and influential people are always highly educated on the best possible universities. Do not give yourself excuses, you're young and pretty rich. Invest in yourself, you don't need Aventador when being 18 old. There are things on this world, to which you need to be mature.
