I've wondered why more young people don't do this. You're facing years of college and 100k in debt just to maybe get a job that pays enough to pay back all that debt. Add to the fact that most of your schooling will be required classes that have nothing to do with your actual job.

Fuck that, just bullshit your way in and if you're good enough to do the job who cares.

I'd rather hire someone who has the gumption to learn on their own and knows what they're talking about than someone who solely relies on their credentials.

Not too keen on liars or bullshitters though.

Good article.
Moral of the story is, if you don't know what you want to do in life when you're below 25, just do SOMETHING. Do something, get good at it, enjoy doing it, find a way to turn it into a career where you make more money.

There's a place for everyone, but you'll never find it if you don't look around and don't try things out.
