If you could be in your 20s again, what would you do different?

[KING WILL]

lived at home longer.

 

[Rozay Oro]

Would have skipped college.

Why

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Only thing I’d change would be not getting that credit card.

Fairly happy with how my 20s went career and money wise but chasing coin for years left my social life hanging. Picking up it up now.

30s are gonna be lit

Was the hanging social life worth it? If I were in your shoes I’d say you did well.

 

[-DMP-]

went to community college then uni for 2 years
pay for school out of pocket
start out in engineering and not waste 2 years being a CS/Math major
break up with my ex sooner
chase more women
stack more money
investin real estate sooner (i was in school during the recession, shouldve been more aware)
open index fund during recession (i was still fukking with savings accounts and money markets)

took me a minute to find the quote but

“Son, there is no reason except a stupid one for anybody to project on that screen anything that will worry him or dull that vital edge. After all, we are the absolute bosses of that whole theater and show in our minds. We even write the script. So always write positive, dynamic scripts and show only the best movies for you on that screen whether you are pimp or priest.”

Go to college while i was on unemployment for 2 years straight.

Damn, you mean you wish you went or wish you worked while in college?

What career you had in mind? And what other careers can you get without a college degree??

College was a colossal waste of time and money

I'm 25, if I could redo my life from age 20, I would have skipped college and went straight into a career.

 

[Just like bruddas]

wish i went to college.

Free money while in school? i fukked that up so bad

So A+ is the answer?? You’re the only one I really heard of that really took off with it because I asked on here a couple times and others keep saying to skip it because it’s useless n shyt.

I’ve been putting the A+ off because of the negative comments, but your story makes me want to focus on that more than school.

Tell it to you like this: I live computers in my freetime, so I was able to stuff my resume with things I can do. Unfortunately, I was getting denied for entry level PT work that paid shyt. The moment I got the A+, I got job offers that paid nearly double what I was seeing a month before. Ive been fortunate because my job pays above rate for what I do, but I wouldnt have taken a dramatic paycut if I wasnt here, I would likely have been with an MSP which would be cool for a year. My resume wasnt ringing bells before the A+ even with flat out lies about certain experience. Its an HR filter, bruh. Certs get you by HR. Thats what I had to realize.
