I'm on the verge of going to college. In my jurisdiction most people are slowlaners(including my parents, lol). Therefore everyone is all about the go to school, get a good job and invest very well 'idea'. Well, since my childhood the whole idea was drummed into my head so much that I saw my studies and excellence in school as the gateway to enjoy the life I wanted; a wealthy life where I didn't have to live frugally all my life and be bothered by my inability to afford stuff I liked. So what did I do?
Well, I studied very hard so much that I was the best student in my class all through basic school.
Now in secondary school, after reading MJ's books(shout-out to him), which I chanced upon after searching to confirm the theories about wealth handed on to me, my whole perspective on the way life works has been reworked. After reading and assimilating the concepts, I studied the rich people in my country and realized that all of the were either pro athletes or entrepreneurs who were solving needs in the country. Immediately I started trying to tell my parents the same ideas but the slowlane perspective of life deeply entrenched in their minds was not allowing them to appreciate the concepts.
Fast-forward I have to go to college in about a year, and I understand life a lot better thanks again to MJ. Now since I know that school qualifications are not necessarily important to the unscripted entrepreneur on his journey(except using it to get a job that will fund future entrepreneurial exploits), I want to make sure that my time in college counts and so even though my dad wants me to do electrical engineering because according to him the job is in demand in my country, I want to go in and do a business course that will be able to not only get me a job to fund my entrepreneurial exploits but also give me technical experience and knowledge in the process of the education and the period I'll get to work(using the certificate earned). This technical knowledge and skills I'll earn will help me better manage my fast lane business, in my view. Any advice will be appreciated. What is the best course based on the different reasons I've provided
