Hi guys.
I don't mean to spill a bunch of information here but the more the better in this case.
Graduating High School in June of 2018, I've since been working a construction job that pays well, and right now we have been laid-off for more than a month. Within that time period, I discovered "The Millionaire Fastlane " by MJ DeMarco and have not regretted reading it. It's intuition that scares me into thinking outside the box because we all know the alternative (The Slowlane).
With that said, I've been taking this time to pick away at an online course in Web Development. This was in hopes to start an education tool that could be used by teachers that I know personally to fix issues in the classroom. However, that seems ridiculous because the main issue is getting students to be engaged. Having just experienced high school I can tell you that is never going to change.
I love to travel, and writing is a challenge that I could wake up to face every single day. With $3000 in my bank account I have 2 options:
- My parents want me to buy a car, work in the summer, then go to college.
-I want to leave the country, travel to Portugal, and cycle to the Netherlands and blog about the entire experience. All under $3000.
Yes, it seems ridiculous. My parents as of late are getting pretty hostile and I get why they're frustrated. They want a future for their son and he just wants to take off to Portugal. If anybody has had any similar "Travel vs College" experiences please do share, it would be a great help. Thanks for reading.
