First of all I want to mention that I surely know that nobody can make the life decisions for me. This thread is not about a final decision, only for input. In my experience my opinion is always strongly influenced by my thoughts and believes, so I want to ask different people with different life paths.
SO: What would you do if you would be (like me) just turned 18 years old, living with your parents and got 1 year school left to graduate from the highest german education. You know "The Fastlane" and read business books. Also you started two businesses, creating income but stopped because they weren't scaleable.
Would you:
a) Do "Dual College" - Apply for it in a bank and study, while already working in the bank. Get 1000€ a month and study for free + get a college degree for free. I could life for 1000€ a month nearly in every german city and move out of my parents house.
Problem: I would need to focus 100% on school to get the best possible degree for this.
That means: Stop going to the gym (atleast till I get good again in school) , stop reading fastlane so much. And of cause no time to start a business. For the last school year and the 3 next years in college.
b) Get a normal bank training. Also 1000€ a month but no college degree and less income after I finished 2 years after I am done. Option to work yourself up. Be in a private bank at the age of 35 and give rich people investing advise. (That would be possible with option a) too) 100k pay a year.
I don't need to get a good school degree and got time for business.
Mental problem: I am not doing 1 thing 100% focused. Not 100% business. Not 100% bank.
c) Do something totally different (travel, work, etc.) I got around 5000€ in savings for this.
