This is the single most worst advice I've seen all week, and the lack of a single punctuation lends credence that higher education should be more accessible/affordable to the greater public.Imagine wasting precious time and money on college nowadays
In 4 years you're going to have a mountain of debt that's going to take you decades to pay off no work experience which is all anyone actually cares about no examples of your skills but at least you'll have a piece of paper saying you spent alot of money and know 1 or 2 things pretty good or alternatively in 4 years you could've had 4 years of actual work experience and a decent safety net saved up and you could've studied whatever you want in your free time while also making examples of what you can do with those studies for any future employers or even use your saved up money to start your own business
OP, stay in college. Make friends, get laid, and earn that degree. I have friends with 'a piece of paper saying you spent a lot of money' making six figures, significantly more than our non-college counterparts who are stuck at the cash registers in Target and as shift managers at McDonalds. Starting a business? Most businesses exist on survivorship bias. More have failed than succeeded. You require hundreds of thousands in loans, a metric fuck ton more money than a college degree, to finance a business that you will pay a big interest over the years.
In the meantime, if you need to try and make more money, take your copywriting services to gig sites like Fiverr that can reach international clients, build a client base to work on your own time for some extra cash. AND charge on US dollars rather than PHP.
