I found out at 29
After I dropped out of college twice of course
But hey, I can drive a forklift like a god at this point
Who needs a degree and debt when you can be forklift certified and make money?
Tbh money isnt the main reason I went to college. There are, as you said, other ways to make money. i.e I was an insurance agent. If I bothered to go back, I could very easily make 100k a year. All off of experience and the 3 months of studying for the licensing exams and no degree required. But thats not what I actually want to do. College basically allowed me to do what I actually want to do AND live comfortably doing so.
Straight up
I really wanted to become a teacher
But now I drive a forklift
Yeah I make like $30 an hour now but it's simply okay. I would have preferred becoming a teacher.
