I'm not a dropout, I'm an exception. I was home schooled until the age of 15 where I learned all that was required and pursued my own ambitions - it's always great to see more people realizing that you can't get anywhere unless you make your own path. No career will make you successful unless you stand out farther than most people. It's true you can't get a good job without a good education, but who needs a job - make your own business, build something better and become greater.

Constantly improve yourself, your ability to think, create and design. When you have a moment of brilliance, consider what else you might be able to do to perhaps even improve that further. Never stop thinking, never stop being ambitious and never stop trying different things.

I'm not leaving this world until I leave my mark, and I want it to be a spectacular one. No packaged education, good career or whatever is going to get me to my goal.

Ah yes let all the teenagers with barely any life experience argue about what is important in the long run.

It's those who are young that will carry the most ambition, and build the greatest things. People who have lived and experience will understand how irrelevant it might be, and so : let the young people argue and compete. It's how innovation happens.

 

[Spenser]

I'm an exception.

Everyone says that

make your own business

If building a successful business was easy everyone would do it

I'm not leaving this world until I leave my mark, and I want it to be a spectacular one.

Chances of being remarkable enough to have a legacy is very low

Its quite naive

In my mind, I believe that in the U.S. the teachers whether it's from high school to college teach you what the country needs., The country as a whole needs the doctors, the surgeons, the engineers, the accountants, the police, the army, etc etc. We need all these different occupations filled with such a high demand that's they offer you scholarships to go pursue these careers.

I'm Canadian, though I doubt the United States Education system veers too far from our own. In high school you finally get your taste of reality. You choose your path, you pick your courses, you are in the planning phases of your future. I don't know about the United States, but I didn't come out of secondary school knowing how to be a surgeon, engineer, accountant, policeman, etc. and throughout my high school career, not a single teacher told me what I should be, or become. I came out with a certificate letting me choose whether or not I want to become one of those things. Including a business degree. Which would teach me how to communicate with others, navigate the market, pursue and find opportunities, learn finance, psychology, and allow me to connect with other aspiring, and soon to be qualified entrepreneurs. These are things that you don't just pick up easily from your "millionaire mentors" who have so far seemingly taught you to do nothing but tickle the market by mowing lawns, doing labour, and selling drugs.

If everybody knew how to trade stocks, how to invest into real estate. Then we would all be doing it making big money. but, that's now how our education system works. They want you to take the traditional route and pursue the occupations we are in demand for.

If everybody knew how to trade stocks, how to invest into real estate, then we'd all be doing it and the market would be oversaturated with our ventures. There are programs that can teach you these things, but you seem to have a closed mind in that you don't see that the reason there are so many doctors, teachers, etc. is because that is the careers people have willingly chose to pursue. They weren't pressured by their school system, rather you've closed yourself in a bubble that has taught you that the path you're attempting is the ultimate, and only viable path as if money is the only thing that drives people, even beyond a stable quality of life.

I would have to disagree on that one man. There was an article of an 18yr old turning his car detailing business into an multi million dollar company. 2.1 GPA cause I was focused more on my life than school. I wanna work for myself always had that in mind always will

It is wonderful to have inspiration, but again you're seemingly closed-minded. You read an article about a successful 18 year old dropout, but there's two sides to every tale. For every successful young, ambitious, hard-working and resourceful young entrepreneur there's definitely many poverty-stricken, regretful people who realized they wasted their time and missed many opportunities in school.

The bottom line is that I'm not telling you you're not going to make it, but you've antagonized the education system for your own failures, you fail to make meaningful, and proper arguments for your cause, you failed to properly evaluate and assess your own situations, and seemingly have trouble making cohesive sentences. Your presence in the thread, as well as your responses have been defensive and extremely self-righteous and for all that I say you have a lot of work to do before you can start living up to your own expectations. You've glorified what I assume you will eventually come to see as a big mistake in the future, but in the end all I can do is wish you the best of luck in your endeavours.

Instead of bringing people down bring them up. Talk about what the person wants to talk about or gtfo. Spread your self loathing nowhere.

Encouraging this type of behavior should be looked down upon. People giving this guy a hard time are doing him well. He has the right to make his own decisions, but it is a stupid one. Dropping out of high school can ruin your life and lead you down a path nobody wants to be on. Ultimately it is his decision, but people giving him a hard time are in the right.[DOUBLEPOST=1565216244][/DOUBLEPOST]

Very well said. Financial freedom is more about making thousands a dollars without having to work too hard for it. There is no method to get rich quick and for most people life goes on for a long time. Side hustles and internet businesses will not support you for the next sixty decades. What will support you is an education, a proper job, a college degree, and a retirement plan that you cannot have without a job. Don't forget about insurance either, without a job you will have to pay for everything yourself meaning it will take more out of your paycheck.

Personally I think dropping out was a bad idea, but it's your life and I have no business telling you how to live it. But always remember when you're doing dropshipping or any business of any kind try not to work for money but have your money work for you

me after losing my friends: scool sux!
me after dropping out: heck ye! im out boiss!
me after making bank by selling drugs: oh boy! im a baller now!

I hope you mean college dropout and not high school. Every successful, famous tech CEO graduated from high school. It would be quite sad if you dropped out of HS. College I can understand dropping out.

well i mean he's spelling sophomore as "softmore" so it's safe to say it's the latter
