I'm 25, and I own my own business. I make more than most of the people who were in college with me when I dropped out.
The first year of college, I realized college prepared you to become an employee. Because of peer pressure, I didn't quit college until my junior year, but I should've it done it sooner.
2 years after, eveyrone graduated, and I was still working 3 jobs trying to get money to start off my business, and people looked down on me.
Today after 3 years of having started my business, I'm doing great.
Sometimes it's hard to relate with my old college friends. They complain about their boss, but I don't have a boss to complain about. They talk about making merits to maybe get a promotion, I just work harder to get a better profit. They seek their boss' approval, my employees want to get my approval. They get happy they finally got an office, I set an office for myself long ago.
