I trip out sometimes when really really young people beat themselves up for not having their whole life figured out in their 20's. It doesn't help that you're bombarded with 'influencers' and 'Reality' of kids born into millions... but even still. At average, you haven't even lived a quarter of your life yet. Imagine the disservice you'd do to the other 3/4 by locking in before they've had their chance to add to the narrative.

I don’t think influencers have a huge impact on me personally it’s more due to how college is structured. This may be just me but going 100k in debt in 4 years just seems like a waste especially if someone is like me where they coasted in HS making average grades which doesn’t help. Shoot me back 40 years when college was actually affordable and I wasn’t spending 1k out of pocket on textbooks and online access to do my homework(this is actually a thing now). Right now I’m just trying to decide if I really do need to go to a 4 year school to get into my profession of choice(IT).

This is an amazing way to look at the world. Even as someone in my late thirties who is just now finding his real drive in he professional world this is a beautiful sentiment. Strong work.
