you’re not wrong I would say for the most part. First off like you know the obvious medical stuff and biology I think it’s definitely you know obviously beneficial to society and those attending considering their salaries. BUT I totally hear you and as far as technology goes or at least the non-medical person goes your 100% right and I am a prime example of that. A college dropout who’s somehow managed to climb their way up into the crypto industry and I’ve been sponsored by Binance, was a key consultant for the acquisition of BitGet’s buyout of BitKeep Wallet…
Now I’m PR for a massive DEX futures platform and part of the PancakeSwap team!
What’s unfortunate is the requirement of college for “real world” normal jobs. I’ve managed a friends $50k portfolio before & thankfully made sure he signed some documents bc otherwise I would’ve been arrested for even mentioning a trade ! 🤔
Good post frien
oh and I appreciate the long and concise response. These are a rarity these days :)
I know a few people that have seriously made it in tech or crypto and none of them went to school for it. Two of them tried their hand at college but got frustrated with all the unrelated crap they had to take in order to fulfill the requirements of the degree. The one guy who went full tech took a few certification classes at a community college and said that the professors there weren't PhD's but rather just people who were really good at the task at hand in their professional lives and did this as a side gig. He now runs his own company, makes his own rules, and makes bank. he was probably too smart for university in the first place.
