RE: Steemians, is college the reason why you are successful today?

in #steem7 years ago

Yes but not really, sort of but let me explain. I have never looked for a job since i graduated. I have been working on my projects that were not taught in class. Though college was a stepping stone for me, it somehow taught me how to persue and finish up tasks and to interact with others. So to me college contributed though i wish i never went through it.

Sort:  

what did you go to school for? and how do you make money now?

I went to school to get a job, but things changed along the way. I have been designing websites for people and i self taught myself from internet. As much as i did a course in computer science i had to teach myself most things i know. And my friend who dropped out told me about steemit. Here in Africa people with a degree are highly respected which makes most people to finish with bachelors to give their parents that respect they deserve in the society. So here it's a like a culture school is connected with knowledge and intelligence and it will take some time for it to change.

It sounds like you guys are where the US was not too long ago. The degree brings a bit of respect. Nowadays, the respect only comes if you graduated in something technical or professional. Did you ever finish?

Yeah i did, think i got some respect .lol
