College or Online Business

[ClickItNow]

Go to college. You will most likely regret it if you dont.

Operating as an affiliate alongside college will be a real test of your metal, and will be the making of you.

I would say don't pass it up plus your business will grow further recruiting college players.

I was at FSU when it was the number #1 party school in America and then at UF a few years later when it became the #1 party school. I wouldn't have wanted to miss those years. I was in a rock band and toured around played with big national acts. Only in college.

I was exposed to computers, photoshop when Adobe traded under $4 (stock reference), and got into Linux before the penguin was even the mascot. If I never had exposure to those things I wouldn't be living on easy street.

I know my experience is not random. Most people get into some business not related to their degree unless its a highly specialized/professional area. Basically Xpertadvice4u hit it on the head.

However, its the experience that can change you, or you pick up something from being there that can change your life.

I just read this article by Beanie and immediately thought of this post.....good read.

Becoming a Millionaire

[Beanie]

now I feel bad for ripping you in that other thread;-)

Strictly business ........

I am pretty sure we have been debating these type issues since around early 2005 at some point. Some things never change.

Great article though and holds true in so many ways. I remember reading "The Millionaire Next Door" and realizing what a dumb concept that is. In my old days as a paramedic I realized life can be very short. While I don't think blowing through all your money is smart.......spend it and enjoy it while you can.

I am not going to have millions of dollars in the bank and still drive an old used car while clipping coupons for groceries. That's why you make millions.......so you DON'T have to live like that. Furthermore living like that is not going to make you millions, at best you're net worth will rise a few thousand dollars each year.

what was funniest was the 18 year old scenario appealed to me greatly after I was done writing it. A lot of people say I wouldn't change anything, if I knew what I know now I absolutely would.

Wow Beanie.... you sure are something.

If that is your reasoning, then you going to college is a pure waste from any perspective.

How is living your life with the mindset of enjoying it, and not missing out on amazing experiences a pure waste?

The number 1 thing I learned at College/University is how to be social. And why it is fun to get drunk once and a while. And how to score.
