lazy fba philly nikka,
Yep. I'm comfortable. Great Topic. As a 28 year old, I think about this a lot.
Started work at 19 and was a package handler at FedEx for a few years. At the time, I went to community college and basically fukked around. Fell asleep in class. Feeling jaded, I decided I needed to paper chase instead of discussing topics in a classroom I didnt give a fukk about.
Then, due the strength of my interviewing skills, I landed a check processing position at a bank, even though my experience obviously wasn't relatable. Get fired due to my newfound urge to party every night @ 21. Scooped up another part time gig and made 13k a year for like two years.
Worked a few odd jobs here and there, but I really didnt get on until I got extremely sick wit it (aka embellished my ass off) and successfully scooped up this gig at a Law Firm assisting racist ass cacs. But I wanted more. Having these cacs look at me like filth was painful every single morning.
"Go to college! Get your degree! You've been on 30 interviews! Nothing's happening!"
But I knew that deep down in my soul, school annoyed the crap out of me. There had to be a way to get in without it, I thought. I kept pushing, kept tweaking my approach. Got an interview for a position in Finance. My competitors were degree'd out the ass. I had 30 credits at a community college. And I destroyed them, all 15 of em, during the interviewing process.
Now I'm not doing too bad (55k, zero debt), but I thank my lucky stars I didn't cave in and accrue debt for a piece of paper. My resume is
I believe that I can get over whatever obstacle is placed in front of me, but some people aint bout that life and go the saft route.
Ultimately, do what your heart tells you, brah. Dont go back to college if you have no interest in doing so. You'll be doing yourself a great disservice if you go back because people tell you that "there's no other way." There's always another way -- you just have to have the courage to find it.
