In today’s world, especially in the US, we’re told that we need to go to college and get an education in order to have a decent living. But nowadays it’s not so easy, and it’s only boomers telling us how easy it was. College is causing many students to get in debt so early in their life. There are scholarships, however for some that’ll be a hassle to obtain considering other factors in life. What would you suggest?

    At the risk of sounding like a tech bro cliche, A lot of tech job dont require degree if you are tech savvy, a lot of them are fairly low entry points (IT) and can set you up to make good wages in just a few years.

      I have a friend who has a degree in biology but has been building PCs since he was 8 yrs old. Did his own electronic repair “job” off the record for years until he finally landed a “real” IT job. He never got a real programming degree till after he made it into IT. He was making bank before and now idk how much he makes now but I know he’s pretty much set. He’s gotten so much free hardware he resells it’s stupid. He has a server he uses as his personal PC that is the most OP shit I’ve ever seen and it was free because the company was throwing it away because a hard drive failed. That’s it. lol.
