Thanks for sharing, it's nice to have the background story.

This was an awesome read. It inspires me to do more content for my channel. It's really easy to get discouraged when you see other youtubers who have similar circumstances as you doing really well. But like you mentioned, if you do it for fun, that will come across to people.

I am not a very active user on this forum, although I do  lurk quite a bit. But I do remember watching that video when I was getting ready to buy the tuniq tower. It was just as bad as I remember lol

Cool I never knew this story. I'm already glad I joined the forums.

 

Do you ever regret dropping college?

Honestly some days yeah.

 

With that said, I'm running my own business these days (and we haven't shut down yet...) and that's exciting, and I've had job offers from tier 1 computer companies for marketing or PR positions, so I don't think my future will be affected by it in any way... But I do wish I had the piece of paper sometimes.

Yeah well like you said it's just a piece of paper maybe someday you can come back for it.

But a chance to be successful doing what you love probably wont appear twice so I think you made the right choice.

Thanks for the honest reply.

Its a piece of paper to hang on your wall.  You don't need it and if you really did just want it for novelty you can always get it later.  Could always do an online course, not necessarily worth it though.
