Hi . It's cool, I'm 16 too.Location: Watford, Hertfordshire, UK
Time: Joining around 10 pm 17/02/2023
Age:16
Wagwan, I am an Indian teen who has very high academic expectations from his parents, I recently had to choose my A-level options and therefore had to get serious about what career path I wanted to go into and what qualification(s) I would need to achieve it. I had done extensive research through hours of several google searches/inquiries of jobs and their salaries for a while however I could not find one job that would pay higher than 75k/80k per annum unless I could move abroad or work in a field I'm not interested in at all. I had recently got back into reading and the thought of reading "get rich" books had crossed my mind, after reading some of these books I came across "The Millionaire Fastlane ". After having a similar experience to M. J. DeMarco with the Lamborghini, The rise of Andrew Tate (say what you want idc), and reading this book, everything has been put into perspective and articulated before my very own eyes. I now realise that time is more valuable than money (definitely more than 60k debt! ) and instead of giving in to what society and my family tell me I'm going to leave school ASAP (maybe I will stick around for A-levels haven't fully decided yet) and start a business that follows CENTS. Meanwhile, I'm going to try and learn as much more as possible in the remaining short time I have.
I am currently learning Python
I have read "The Millionaire Fastlane " and will now proceed to reading the other two books
I will be getting a full-time summer job and saving up the money for a first-time business investment.
By the way, I have a lot of trouble with the education system (in France).
There is an interesting facet that I would like to mention, it is the "price/duration/probability" ratio of the studies.
look at this diagram:
Bob has just started university, he is 18 years old. He completed a Masters (5 years) which cost him €50,000. at the end of his studies, he is 23 years old, he has no professional experience, and his average beginner's salary is 3000€.
His twin, Bobby is clever: at 18, he does not study and finds a job in the building industry. His average salary is 1800€. He basically has the same needs as a broke student, so he saves 800€/month. at 23, his saved capital is approximately €45,000. He can use it intelligently to launch a business.
Results of the experience:
Bob has no experience, he earns 3000€/month BUT he is in debt of 50,000€ (average price of the course). His work is time-consuming, he has little savings and cannot start a business.
Bobby a.k.a the smart boy has 5 years of experience in construction, and he has a capital of around €45,000. He could start a building business with his acquired skills and hit the highway! Here is my vision of studies...
To conclude, the diploma is losing more and more value: a century ago, only 7% of men had a diploma, so it was profitable. Today, 70% of men have a diploma or qualification. So logically, the value of studies has dropped drastically.
