You do have a point, but I can't just sit here and wait until that 24-25 to figure out what I wanted..can I?
Idk how my credit is, but I have never taken out a loan, so I think I'm good on that part.
and agreed, that's one of the few reasons why I haven't (still won't) go to college. I don't want to waste 4 years, just to find out I can't get a job in that one field, and even if I do - I don't want debt hanging over my head and still have to pay it back at the age of 65.
tbh, all this is frustrating
I don't know what community college is like today, but you should be able to do a 2 year degree with little or not debt. This should hold true if you're attending a community college in your home state. Like someone mentioned here, get a job at a college or community college in IT. See if you like it. One piece of advice is try as many different things as possible while you're young. You have nothing to lose.
We can all say we love XYZ. However, until you do it for a consistent amount of time, you might just think you like doing it. Unless you have family that is going to hand hold you all your life, this isn't the time to feel sorry for yourself. Get out there and fall down a few times. It's the only way to learn.
I know working out in the gym sounds cliche, but it's a good starting point. If you can start to maintain a consistent workout routine, you will start seeing results. As you visually see results, you will realize learning anything else is very similar.
These past few months of studying, I have cut down on going out with friends and casually drinking. The part I hate about drinking is the wasted time dealing with a hangover. Even if it's not bad, I still feel sluggish enough to where it stalls my learning. A couple of friends have got on my case about not going out. You know what, at the end of the day are they going to pay my rent? If they can't understand what I'm doing, screw em.
Take advantage of your youth. If you sacrifice now, you will be better off than a majority of this country in a short amount of time. Are you in a fairly large city? Look up Meetup.com and find groups related to IT. Go to the events and meet people. You will stay motivated if you find others that are doing what you want to do.
I don't know if this video will post correctly, but Steve Harvey makes a great point about not wasting your 20's.
