I'm having a real problem, I hope the older lads can help me here. I'm still living with my family and I planned to move this month for my first year of uni. Here's the problem, I got "rejected" from the Universities I applied to so I now find myself kind of....lost.
Beware, in my country (EU) the Uni system is quite different. We don't have GPA or that stuff. We don't even have "campuses" as you call them. Take the American college and remove the fraternities, dorms, and parties, and here is the average University in my country.
Now, my parents are "forcing" me to choose an Uni here in my city. Yes, they are implying I need to live with them another year or so, which is just a nightmare for me.
The only degree I could apply to is a sort of Economics (but much more specific in the "Management" niche). That degree seems so useless in my honest opinion. They teach you plenty of theory, but no practice. Now, I might be wrong, but correct me in case.
So basically, I feel like going to Uni here would suck completely both from the "fun" part and the "career" part.
I can't stand being with my parents any longer. They've been hindering my self-improvement for years now.
In terms of business, I'm in the self-publishing sector. I started a blog 2 months ago and I am already finishing one book. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not expecting millions from it. My goal is to get 1-2k a month from it and I'm sure it's 100% possible if I put in the work. This would be my plan in case I don't go to any University this year: to focus exclusively on this business.
What do you think about all this? What should I be doing if my goal is to move from my parents? Should I take a job or focus only on my business? Thank you in advance.
