Hello Dear People,
I know everyone here are aspiring entrepreneurs and trying their best to escape the rat race. And I recognize that time is the most precious resource. Therefore if you don't have some spare time, please just read the main question and help me out:
Main question: I am a 17-year-old, going to uni in less than 2 years. My parents are academically strict, and forced me to go to most academic pre-uni college in the whole SE England. It's just eating away my time. However, I am trying to escape the rat race before uni graduation. I am starting off learning programming and video editing to start a channel. Do you beautiful souls have any advice for me, please? What to do next or what is the best thing to do right now? Thank you very much.

If you do have some time to spare:

I am a college (in my country, its pre-uni) student in the UK. By force, my parents made me enroll in one of the most academically rigorous colleges in the whole of South East England because my grades were good.
By reading the "Millionaire Fastlane ", I have developed an aspiration for escaping the rat race, to have more free time in the future to provide value to people and take on bigger risks without worrying. However, my school is constantly bombarding me with time-consuming tasks, and my parents don't understand at all.
But I am dedicated enough to kill all my downtime and invest it in reading books and developing high-income skills like programming, video editing etc.
I am starting off with video editing to start a youtube channel. I must have to find a way to escape the rat race before graduating from uni (I will enter uni in less than 2 years). Please can anyone give me any guidance? I am starting off with youtube, but any other advice is highly appreciated. (By the way, I am 17, and therefore I do think I have a wonderful opportunity in front of me to escape the rat race, before even entering it)
