I recommend you read, “the Millionaire Next Door.” It should be required reading in high school. There are thousands of millionaires in the US. The authors studied them and interviewed a lot of them. Traits they had in common is most started a small business and didn’t go to school unless there was something specific they needed to know. Then, they just took those courses.
There are actually a whole lot of other traits, many of which would seem like common sense to me, but I know people who apparently don’t see them that way. Those people are universally poorer than they easily could be.
Good book. Oh, and I got a four year degree and had a good job most of my career. But that’s just it. How many times have you heard “get an education so you can get a good job?” College teaches you to work for somebody else.
Good luck. I’d like to know what you decide to do.
Book is available for free to Amazon Prime members. Thanks for the recommendation.
