  1. I’m not trying to sound cocky or arrogant, but I’m a decently smart guy, top 15 in my class I believe. And you know the saying that everyone always says, “you can be anything you want to be”. Well when you’re really smart that is actually true, and it’s so draining as a teenager trying to figure out what I want to do in life when there are so many different paths my life could go. I’m smart enough to be a great doctor or engineer or make hundreds of thousands in finance, I’m savvy and persistent enough to start my own business, yet also confident, empathetic, and tactful enough to become a cop which is my dream job. This is one of the only things I hate about being smart.

  2. I graduated high school back in 2015, and I can say the path that I chose was a mid gamble. I am making close to $70K a year because I am an assistant manager at a gas station, and I started this job a few months ago after I left my landscaping job, which sucked ass.

    I basically decieded not to focus on college for the first few of my life, as I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, when I was in high school I was wanting to join a metal band and make music, but ofc, you need money for that, unless you want soem cheap ass gear that's terrible or you want to buy gear that doesn't really work for you or your style.

    I had dreams of wanting to be a pro gamer and musician, but there was only two games that I could achieve pro level play, and being in a band I was kicked due to my grade being mid and overall, I'd have my bass guitar taken away from me, which in turn I had nothing left and I fell into a deep state of loss. Basically, without the band I was confuse on what I should do, and my father told me, just work and that's it.

    That shit made zero sense for me, as working hard doesn't get you far. I am 29 years old, I have a vehicle, I live with my parents still, but I have my own computer, so I now make music on FLStudio and I make anime content on YouTube, am I making money from any of this? Not really, I just do it as a hobby because it's what keeps me sane lmfao

    I recommend people to get into the job force and then save up and go to college, then throw your money at whatever you want and then make something of yourself, I assumed this YouTube and music stuff would be easier, but nah, I barely have time for any of it, as I work from 7am-5pm and it sucks.

  3. So, i graduated high school last year, applied for CS, didn't get admission, so i got a gap year. Unfortunately, i cannot say that i achieved anything substantial in that time, and i cant explain why. My second gap year is about to start, and im already pretty sure Uni will make my life miserable.

    I have a friend in uni and he was so drained he wont even see me during his semester break because he just wanted to be alone. Its pretty clear to me that i will not be able to balance school and what i REALLY want to do without sacrificing one or the other, getting overwhelmed, or straight up losing my mind, especially since I only picked CS because it was the only course i could find related to game dev.

    I dont want to be a computer scientist and Im not going to use the degree for anything. I dont even need to go to uni to learn programming, not to talk of the useless classes they force you to take, like physics for example, further eating up precious time.

    The only valid reason i can see is networking opportunities, but since I and these people i'll network with will have the same problems i mentioned above, i doubt i'll be able to do much with them. If we didnt have school work weighing down our backs though, well the sky's just the beginning.
    And Im sure as hell not waiting for four years, wasting time getting a degree I'll undoubtedly toss in my drawer and never pick up again. Imagine the progress i could make in those four years if i pursued my goals fully instead.

    But i need solid evidence and a clear plan if im ever going to convince my dad.

  4. Basically the question is what do you want to do in life? Of course you have to work to make money since you're gonna be a fully independent adult, so you should ask what kind of work/job you wish to do for the rest of your life and how to gain the experience and skillsto pursue it

  5. Yo I really look up to you Pierre you a inspiration thanks for all your advice from personal life to outside world advice everything all over your social medias Preciate it all bro

  6. As a 2009 graduate(from high school, I never went to college) it’s a dog eat dog world out there once you step outside into the real world after high school(or college if you went to right after high school), leme tell you something it’s not so bad out there so long as you have a job(and your own place once you decide to move out). There’s a lot more challenges out in the real world versus in school. Whatever you learned in high school college etc….. somewhat won’t matter so basically you have to make your own choices in life and how you live them. But like I said it’s not so bad out there as long as you got everything set up pre-graduation. My advice for teenagers who about to graduate high school soon: prepare yourself for the real world, regardless of going to college or not and best of luck out there.

    Also, assuming you’re still in contact with your friends (especially if you go to the same college if you both end up going to college and at the same one) stay in touch with them you never know when you want to hang out assuming y’all ain’t busy with college work or whatever. Trust me having friends makes life easier and I should know.

    On a final note to anybody that does go to college I wish you the best of luck and don’t work too hard and go get it

    Edit: oh snap I forgot to say prepare to move out(to the people that dont wanna go to college) can’t always live with your parents forever and eventually they’ll kick you out, look around for apartments, condos, townhouses etc….. don’t worry you can always visit your parents still, but sometimes it’s always good to have some alone time without being hassled by the rents(short for parents). I moved out three years after high school(because I couldn’t find any good apartments then until 2012 so I was still with the parents up until then) and don’t forget to have a job in order to pay your rent (APT) and such, it ain’t cheap to live in an apartment or anywhere for that matter that’s why there’s jobs out there

  7. Pierre, I’m only half way through high-school, but this video provides an different view. I understood the different options that teenagers tend to have after school, either going to college, taking a gap year, or begin working. However, this video shows how to choose which path to choose, and how to optimise it.
    Thanks

  8. Before this book, I was stuck in survival mode, constantly stressing about bills. The Hidden Codex of the Financial Alchemists helped me shift into a creator mindset. I followed the principles without expecting instant results—and that’s when the magic happened. Random refunds, new clients, even a promotion. It’s like the universe finally responded once I did.
