In some ways, I am so glad to not have a degree, and to have forged my own path.

@Raaii thank you..my siblings are lowkey triggered that i worked my way up abt 6x from a lowly call center position, and now get paid somewhat comparably to them..to work from home. i also have no kids, so this money goes straight to my house..which i have paid down 19 years in 4. i also, until i recently sold one, had 3 paid off vehicles. they can die mad lol..not saying this to be braggadocious..but to say, sometimes..it can be done. what people dont factor in to that 100k in debt is: that is ALSO 4 years when you arent working 40 hrs a week! so with interest and lost wages..you're easily, easily at 200k lost..if you didnt have scholarships or family money.

@foldedunfolding you're very very right
Thank you so much for sharing your experience 🙇‍♀️
As a young student I really wanted to hear something like this
As you've said some jobs do require degrees like that of doctors or lawers
But if it's something I'm passionate about I can learn it at my own pace
You're really amazing and very hard working
I admire you 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

@foldedunfolding actually I'm just a broke student now
I've faced many failures
Though I work hard all my efforts end up with no success

I find your post quite inspiring in the sense I've never thought before

I always followed this so called education system and focused on getting good grades but now getting a little job seems so hard

But you worked on your passions, improved your skill and now you're stable
It could be me too
So your post sort of opened my eyes to new opportunities
They're there and I should try out
I'm grateful 🙇‍♀️ you're good and you're doing absolutely great 💎💎

@Raaii this makes me so happy..free your mind! if you want to go a different way and can BACK IT UP, go for it!

nottt saying you wont have to work hard..but you truly can do it your own way. thank you, again, so much for the vote of confidence. i needed it!
